A small Nichiren Buddhist temple compound set against Minobu's wooded slopes—photograph wooden halls, stone lanterns, mossy steps and framed mountain views. Best at golden hour or early morning for warm light and low crowds; autumn brings vivid foliage. Accessible by local roads; limited on-site parking and space, dress respectfully and expect shoe removal inside halls. Weekdays are quieter; check for ceremonies before shooting interiors.
