Called Honkozan in the Nichiren sect, it is said that the kaizan was in the second year of Genwa (1616). This is a temple built when the locals were lost in their hearts; it is said that it was named “Joryu-ji Temple” receiving the characters from “hon” and “jo” of Honjo-ji Temple.

Honkozan-Joryu-ji is a temple belonging to the Nichiren sect in Harue-cho, Edogawa-ku, Tokyo. Many years ago, there was a Japanese camellia in the precincts, so it was called the “Camelia Temple”. Inside the hall, a statue of the demon mother god is enshrined and is set to be the work of Saicho Daishi.
