Since 1415, as one of the primary Buddhist temples in Kyoto, Honnoji has served an important role to enlighten folks. It has also been known as the place of assassination that changed Japan’s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day, in the Medieval Period of Japan, Oda Nobunaga<\/em> visited Kyoto and stayed at Honnoji at the time, when he was about to dominate Japan. In the night, he was assassinated by one of his most loyal retainers, Akechi Mitsuhide<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honnoji is a Buddhist temple, but not an accommodation. Honnoji at the time<\/em> was surrounded and protected by a tall wall and a moat, just like a castle. It was supposed to be a safe place for Nobunaga, but no one knows what would happen in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nobunaga is often characterized as an oppressive ruler who repressed Buddhism. But once you visit Honnoji, you can tell it is not true. He also supported Honnoji and other Buddhist temples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The picture above is Nobunaga’s tomb in Honnoji. Well, not really. His body was finally not found after the assassination when Honnoji at the time was burnt out. Instead, his sword was buried beneath the tomb. Welcome to Japan’s mystical world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honnoji has been burnt out five times (including the assassination) and rebuilt seven times. While suffered from such accidents, they have inherited their holy objects and cultural heritage. Today those treasures are exhibited at the museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This museum exhibits Buddist artwork, and also shows the relationship between Honnoji and Nobunaga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Samurai<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even if you are not familiar with Buddhism and Nobunaga, you will be impressed. You can take a close look at Samurai armor and swords. Wow! The Samurai armor in the picture above was made in the Meiji era to represent Nobunaga’s majesty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
