Honko-ji Temple
The Honko-ji Temple is a temple belonging to the Hongan-ji sect of the Jodo Shinshu School of Buddhism, located in Hida City, Gifu Prefecture. The temple is renowned as one of the finest in the Hida region thanks to its magnificent Hon-do main hall (made almost entirely from Japanese Cypress wood), Shoro (bell tower), and San-mon (main gate). The Honko-ji Temple is one of the temples visited in the Hida Furukawa Three Temples Pilgrimage, an important winter event in the Hida-Furukawa region that takes place on January 15 every year. On this day, the banks of the Setogawa River and the historic streets are lined with around one thousand traditional Japanese-style candles and large “snow candles”; in this magical atmosphere, pilgrims visit and pray at first the Honko-ji Temple, then the Enko-ji Temple and the Shinshu-ji Temple.

- 飛騨古川で最も大きなお寺
- 飛騨古川の古い町並みの中にあるお寺。飛騨古川の三寺まいりのひとつで、最も大きなお寺です。山門も本堂もとても立派なものです。

- 大きな寺院です
- 山門も本堂も立派ですよ。ただ何か歴史を知るような説明書のようなものは見当たらなかったので、深く知るようなことは出来ません。大きな寺院が在ったということだけ、心に止めておきます。

- 散策コースの南西にありました
- ある団体旅行で街並みを散策し、コースの折代え地点近くにあります。立派な山門があり、中に入って参拝しました。帰りにトイレを拝借。
