#Minobusan is a mountain village in #yamanashi Prefecture, west of Tokyo.

Minobu is in south-central Yamanashi Prefecture. The Fuji River passes through the town, which is dominated by the sacred Mount Minobu. It also shares Lake Motosu with neighbouring Fujikawaguchiko.

No visit to Minobusan would be complete without an excursion to Kuonji, the headquarters of the Nichiren Shu sect of Japanese Buddhism. The magnificent temple compound sits high above Minobusan village, perched within the mountains and surrounded by forest. Climbing the 287 steep steps to the temple is a Buddhist practice in itself.

Kuonji was founded in 1274 by Nichiren Shonin, who firmly believed that the Lotus Sutra best conveys the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha. The sutra is "Namu myo-ho ren-ge kyo," and to this day the chant can be heard daily throughout Minobusan.

Daily prayer services at Kuonji are open to the public. The noontime service is at 12:00 and the evening service at 15:00. However, it is the morning service that is highly recommended, as it begins with the first light spreading slowly across the mountains.
