Honmichi (ほんみち) is a Tenrikyo-based Shinshūkyō (Japanese new religion) that became formally independent in 1925 under its founder, Ōnishi Aijirō, with the title, Kanrodainin no Ri (甘露台人の理, The Princple of the Living Kanrodai).[1][2][3] Despite to the religion being derived from Tenrikyo with different interpretation of the doctrine such as Sanken Mimune (三軒三棟),[4] the religious structure still maintains the basic overall atmosphere from Tenrikyo. It was reorganized from the earlier Tenri Kenkyūkai (天理研究会, Tenrikyo Research Group), in which it was of a fragamentary nature.[5] It had 319,031 followers in 2022 according to the Reiwa 4 (2022) Religion Almanac published by the Agency for Cultural Affairs.

The main scriptures used in Honmichi are two of the three main scriptures from Terikyo: Ofudesaki and Mikagura-uta.[6] The only main Tenrikyo scripture that is not accepted by the establishment is Osashizu written by the second spiritual leader of the original establishment, Iburi Izō.

Honmichi was a noticeable Japanese religion before World War II for its leader's active defiance against the Emperor of Japan.[7] It quickly re-established itself during the US Occupation of Japan. It is currently based in Takaishi, Osaka.[2]
