MYOHOJI TEMPLE
Founded in 1615, Myohoji Temple is situated in the southern part of Koenji, a 10-15 minute walk from the closest Tokyo Metro Stations. Its beautiful iron gate is a Japanese-Western blend design and is designated as an important cultural asset of Japan. In rainy season, usually in June and early July, around the temple's pond, lots of Japanese iris and hydrangea bloom so beautifully that a lot of people visit this temple to view them in the traditional atmosphere.
Also, this is a temple where you can participate in "Joya no Kane", and strike the temple's huge copper bell on New Year's Eve for free. The bell, cast in 1725, can be rung from midnight, but it's better to be there a little earlier because there is always a long line of people.
However, it will be worth the wait for a unique Japanese New Year's experience!

Horinouchi Myōhō-ji Temple 堀之内妙法寺

Enshrined in Myōhō-ji Temple is the holy image of
The Venerable Nichiren known as the "Founder in Horinouchi," praised as warding off misfortune.
Many people have visited this place to see the holy image.
When the "Hokke Senbu-e," in which a thousand Buddhist scriptures
are recited for memorial services and prayers
and the "Eshiki," which is a memorial service for the death of
The Venerable Nichiren are conducted in July and October,
the temple grounds would be filled to the brim with people.
