Nishi Honganji is the head temple of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji sect, whose founder was Saint Shinran.

At this event, you can experience the history and culture of Nishi Honganji by holding the artistic lantern "NAKED Distance Lantern," which is popular at NAKED events, and visiting the national treasure Miedo Hall decorated with digital art and the national treasure Hiunkaku, which is usually closed to the public.
