Located in the centre of the city, it is the seat of the sect Jōdo Shinshū ("sect of the Pure Land"), founded by Shinran (1174-1268). It is said that to limit the ancestry of the sect, which was immensely popular in Japan, Ieyasu Tokugawa is said to have demanded the foundation of a temple further east, the Higashi Hongan-ji. Seven of the Nishi Hongan-ji's buildings are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. They are superb examples of the architecture of the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1568-1600).
