Footsteps of Nichiren's Mission: From Yonegahama Landing to Daimyoji Temple

About this event

This guided tour traces the footsteps of Nichiren, who landed at Yonegahama and trained at "Oanasama" on his way from Awa to Kamakura for missionary work. Walking along the path of faith traversed by many believers—such as Ryuhonji Temple, Myoeiji Temple, and Daimyoji Temple—participants can connect with the history of Nichiren's teachings. The approximately 7.5 km course is geared toward fairly brisk walkers: starting from Yokosuka-chuo Station, it passes Miura Taishakuten Hall, Oanasama, Ryuhonji Temple, Yonegahama Battery Ruins, the "Axis of Peace" at Heiwa Chuo Park, the Odaimoku Pagoda, Utogawa Park (lunch), Myoeiji Temple, the Nagashima Family Nagayamon Gate, and Hoto Crossroads, before concluding at Daimyoji Temple. Dotted with scenic spots, this is a valuable opportunity to engage deeply with the history and faith of Yokosuka. Required personal items include a boxed lunch, beverages, a hat, and rain gear.
