The temple that gave the city of Mobara its name
A big face stands beside the parking lot!

An unfinished large bronze statue of the founder Nichiren is temporarily placed

It will be a pretty big statue when completed...
Donations are being collected for the 750th anniversary of Nichiren's death in 2031.

Another highlight is this mountain gate
It is shaped just like Ryugu-ji Temple.
Mobara Park, a famous cherry blossom viewing spot, is located nearby.
