Abutsubo Myosenji Temple
A 30-minute drive from Ryotsu Port, this temple is one of the three main Nichiren Buddhist temples. When Nichiren Buddhist monk Endo Tamemori was exiled to Sado Island he and his wife Sennichini opened their home as a temple. On the grounds of the temple stands a five-story pagoda erected in 1825 during the Edo-period. It is the most prominent part of the grounds and has been designated an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan. There are also three volumes of historical Nichiren Buddhist texts and spearheads said to have been dedicated to the temple by Naoe Kanetsugu.
