Kofuku(ji) Temple of the Hosso School


Explanation:
I think it's 法相宗興福寺. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kōfuku-ji for further details. http://www.kohfukuji.com/ is the temple's website.

If you'd like to stress its position as the head temple, it may be worth rendering it thus: Kofukuji, the Head Temple of the Hosso School.

Again, I'd recommend you to move this question to the JA > EN forum.
