本法寺は永享8(1436)年、日親上人の創建の日蓮宗の寺院です。本阿弥家の菩提寺でもあります。もとは四条高倉にあり一条戻橋辺に移ったが、天正15(1587)年にこの地に移りました。光悦の寄進状を添えた紫紙金字法華経(重文)、長谷川等伯の釈迦大涅槃図(同)など貴重な寺宝があります。庭園「三巴の庭」は光悦作、国の名勝に指定されています。涅槃会館にて宝物が展示されています。境内諸堂のうち、本堂、開山堂、多宝塔、庫裡、書院、大玄関、唐門、鐘楼、経蔵、宝蔵、石橋等、京都府有形文化財に指定されています。Honpo-ji is a temple of the Nichiren sect founded by Nisshin Shonin in 1436. It is also the family temple of the Hon'ami family. Originally located in Shijo Takakura, it moved to Ichijo Modoribashi, but moved to this area in 1587. There are valuable temple treasures such as the Purple Paper Lotus Sutra (Important Cultural Property) with a letter of donation from Koetsu and the Buddha's Reclining Buddha (same) by Tohaku Hasegawa. The garden "Sanba no Niwa" is designated as a national scenic spot by Koetsu. Treasures are on display at the Nirvana Kaikan. Among the temples in the precincts, it is designated as a tangible cultural property of Kyoto Prefecture, such as the main hall, Kaisando, Tahoto, Kuri, Shoin, large entrance, Karamon, bell tower, Kyozo, treasure house,...

「鍋かむり日親 (にっしん)」として知られる、日親上人が1436年 (永享8年) に開山した日蓮宗のお寺。天文法華 (てんぶん ほっけ) の乱 が起こった際、大坂 堺に一時避難するも、京都へ戻る請願が続けられた結果、1542年 (天文11年) に京都に戻りました。その後、豊臣秀吉の命により、1587年 (天正15年)、現在の地へ移転して今日に至っています。

本堂・開山堂・多宝塔・仁王門など、本格的な伽藍があり、本阿弥 家の菩提寺らしく本阿弥 光悦 (ほんあみ こうえつ) の作成した枯山水「巴 (ともえ) の庭」もあり、小さいながらも立派なお寺。

長谷川 等伯の「佛 涅槃図 (ぶつ ねはんず)」などの美術品も多く、是非、参拝する事をお勧めします。縦 約10m・横 約6mに及ぶ日本で最大級の涅槃図で、原寸大の複製が通常は展示されていますが、毎年3月から4月頃に開催される「春の特別寺宝展」で実物が一般公開されます。

境内の散策は無料ですが、「巴の庭」や「佛 涅槃図」は拝観料が必要。庫裏が受付になっており、御朱印や御首題も受付でいただけます。

地下鉄 烏丸線 鞍馬口駅から、妙覺寺--妙顕寺--本法寺と回って、堀川今出川 近くの白峯神宮や晴明神社を参拝して今出川駅へ至るコースが良いと思いますが、今出川駅で下車して、4番出入口から地上に出て白峯神宮や晴明神社へ参拝後に、本法寺へ向かう方が分かりやすいかも知れません。

白峯神宮や晴明神社のすぐ近くをはしる、片側3車線ある堀川通に面している堀川病院の前から、歩いて5分ほどで「三巴の庭」と書かれた札のあるお寺の門に着きます。茶道総合資料館のすぐ隣。

こちらは裏門にあたるようで、通り過ぎてしまいがちですが、奥へ進むと境内に入ることができ、左側に拝観受付があります。多宝塔を見ながら、さらに進むと仁王門を通って裏千家 住宅を経て、妙顕寺へ行くことができます。

裏千家 住宅から妙顕寺への道は、観光地ではない京都らしい雰囲気があってとても良い。茶道...
