Honnō-ji

Honnō-ji

nihongo|Honnō-ji|本能寺 is a temple of the Nichiren branch of Buddhism located in Kyoto, Japan. Its honzon is mandara-honzon (曼荼羅本尊) from Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.

Honnō-ji is most famous for the Incident at Honnō-ji. Oda Nobunaga lodged there before his invasion of the west. However on the morning of June 21, 1582, the traitorous forces of Akechi Mitsuhide surrounded the temple and set it on fire. Knowing there was no way out for him, Nobunaga committed seppuku along with his attendant Mori Ranmaru. Ranmaru's brothers also perished at Honnō-ji.

The rebuilt Honnō-ji stands on a different site in Kyoto, near Kyoto Shiyakusho-mae Station.

Honnō-ji is depicted in the games "" and The Samurai Warriors Series.
