Bodaitei (菩提梯)

Main Hall (本堂)

Memorial Hall for Founder (祖師堂)

Garden of Visitor's Hall

Writer's Room with the slogan, "Save Country with Right Teaching"

Five-story pagoda

Grave of St. Nichiren (日蓮聖人)

In the treasure hall, I observed so many well known historical figures including Emperors had transcribed Lotus Sutra (法華経), which is believed the supreme teaching of Buddha, believing the transcription itself provides ultimate merits.

I also transcribed an excerpt from Lotus Sutra

After visiting the temple, I moved to Yugawara to have dinner and onsen here. But the restaurant was full. I had to have dinner outside. With a map of tan-tan fried noodle, I tried to find a tan-tan noodle restaurant. But one was just closed because of food shortage, another was not open regardless of the written operation hour. The last one I visited is just closed because it's Sunday.
I had very bad feeling. I thought they are not eager at all to make this town famous by the noodle.
Finally I had a normal noodle.

Had normal noodle here

After all, I had to take onsen in just 40 minutes.
