Honnō-ji Temple

Honnō-ji Temple is a historic temple in Kyoto, known as the site of a dramatic incident in 1582 when Japanese warlord Oda Nobunaga was forced to commit seppuku during a mutiny by one of his generals.

Today's temple, rebuilt after a fire, offers a peaceful space for contemplation amid the hustle and bustle of the modern city.

It is not only a place of religious worship, but also an important point on the historical map of Japan, allowing one to feel the spirit of samurai times and understand the country's complex history.
