Enshrined in Myōhō-ji Temple is the holy image of The Venerable Nichiren known as the "Founder in Horinouchi," praised as warding off misfortune. Many people have visited this place to see the holy image. When the "Hokke Senbu-e," in which a thousand Buddhist scriptures are recited for memorial services and prayers and the "Eshiki," which is a memorial service for the death of The Venerable Nichiren are conducted in July and October, the temple grounds would be filled to the brim with people.
