I visited at the end of last November. It’s a very pretty temple with relatively few visitors. The site is by no means small; there’s quite a lot to see, particularly the Buddha statue, which is the most famous feature. I highly recommend visiting this temple, it’s a hidden gem in Nagoya.
I visited Kōshō-Ji on Jan 2nd in the morning, expecting it would be fully crowded, but it was surprisingly quiet for a New Year's holiday. It's a beautiful and peaceful Buddhist temple close to Yagoto Station. If you're in Nagoya, it's worth it a visit!
This is a pretty temple. I think the photos speak for themselves! It's quite spacious and when I visited at 4pm, there weren't many people.
Compared to the Kakuo-zan Nittai-ji temple, this Kōshō-ji temple is more rustic and personal. It's more cozy and welcoming, parts of it requires a bit of a climb, but there are escalators on one side.
This temple is a nice place to come and think.
This temple is very historic, beautiful and clean. The peacefulness of this location is really amazing. It's hard to believe that this temple is in the middle of a busy city.
There is a little forest reserve which you have to cross to get to the temple and this walk is very beautiful. If you are visiting Nagoya, especially the Yagoto area, this is a must visit place.
It's a nice temple in Yagoto. Very calm and peaceful place. The temple garden is very big and it's a great place to spend some time. There is also an escalator to go uphill. There are some souvenir shops as well. It's very close to the Yagoto station. When you exit from exit 1 of subway, it's only a 100 m walk.
