Standing 1153 m above sea level, the summit of Mount Minobu is a sacred place that Nichiren Shonin often visited. It reminded him of his parents in Kominato (present-day Chiba Prefecture), and he cherished their memory during the nine years he lived on Mount Minobu. The Soshi-do Hall on the grounds of the temple was built in 1665 by Nichiro Shonin, one of Nichiren’s six disciples who were asked to be at his deathbed. Inside the Soshi-do Hall, a statue of the founder of the sect, statues of six disciples, and statues of Myonichi and Myoren made in 1680 are enshrined. The bell tower and the hanging bell were made in 1668 and registered as Minobe Town Cultural Properties along with the Soshi-do Hall. Nio-mon Gate was initially placed in front of the main hall, and relocated to the current location in the Tenna era (1681-1684) during the early Edo Period. The two guardian deities of Buddha, Naraen Kongo, with open mouth, and Missyaku Kongo, with closed month, both of which were possibly made by Unkei, are standing valiantly on each side at the gate. Taiko-den Hall, Kaiki-do Hall, Ikuon-den Hall, a statue of Nichiren Shonin praying toward his hometown, and a cedar tree planted by Nichiren are open to the general public.
