About 本光寺 Live

本光寺 Live is the YouTube channel of Honkouji, a Nichiren Buddhist temple (光胤山 本光寺) in Ichikawa, Chiba, Japan. The channel posts a daily morning prayer session, recorded sutra chanting such as the Kuon-ge and Hoben-pon passages of the Lotus Sutra, and short Shorts that explain temple etiquette, prayer-bead handling and hand gestures. The uploads are low-production and calm, with no on-camera host.

The audience is estimated to be mostly Japanese viewers aged 45 and over who follow daily devotion, with a smaller group of younger viewers interested in Buddhist practice. The channel has roughly 3,690 subscribers and a median of about 5,000 views per video, so reach is modest but highly focused. Sponsored integrations are estimated at $20 to $35 per 1,000 median views for long-form videos, or $4 to $8 per 1,000 for Shorts-heavy output, which lands well below the typical $10 to $30 CPM of paid ads.

This channel suits brands selling incense, prayer goods or calm wellness products that want a respectful, values-aligned placement. It is not a fit for general consumer promotion.
