Night Removal Bell (Minobu Yamakuen-ji)
The main temple of the Nichiren sect at a temple opened by Nichiren during the Kamakura period. The great bell was donated by Tokugawa Ieyasu's concubine yojuin (Oman no kata) and was cast in the first year of Kanei (1624). After the end-of-year recite from 23:00, the general public can also get the night bell (the first 1000 people). In May 2009, the five-storied pagoda was rebuilt to welcome Ochiqing.
