    Honzenji Temple, located at the foot of Mount Yoshino, was built in 1476 by the Jodo Shinshu sect priest Rennyo, who used this site as a base for transporting timber from Yoshino to be used as building materials for the construction of large temples such as Ishiyama Honganji. The raft route developed by the Jodo Shinshu sect became the prototype for the Yoshino timber transport route during the Edo period. In spring, the temple grounds are filled with blossoms, including the Edohiganzakura cherry tree, which is said to have been planted by Jennyo in memory of his father after his death, and a weeping cherry tree said to be 300 years old.
