Goho-ji

Gohō-ji (長遠山護法寺, Chōen-zan Gohō-ji) is a Nichiren sect Buddhist temple nestled in the Oginome district of Ōtawara City, Tochigi Prefecture. Its name — literally "Temple that Protects the Dharma" — reflects the Nichiren school's emphasis on safeguarding Buddhist teachings in the world. Though it serves primarily as a local place of worship rather than a tourist destination, the temple offers a peaceful stop for travelers interested in everyday Japanese religious life and quiet temple grounds.
