What other travelers are saying about Kōshō-ji Temple
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!
Kōshō-ji Temple was founded in 1233 by Dogen Zenji and later relocated to its current location in Uji in 1648 by daimyo Nagai Naomasa.

Yes, the temple offers Zazen meditation sessions for those interested in exploring Zen Buddhism.
Yes, there is a 500 yen fee for entrance to the Fumon Garden.
Kōshō-ji Temple is open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM every day of the year.
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.
It is a Buddhist Temple which opens its worship hall and allows worshippers and visitors for worship and other religious practices inside the hall. Such an open-door policy is rather rare for the temples or shrines in Japan.
Visitors can walk around the courtyard to enjoy pagoda, center Buddha statue and other various statues in the courtyard.
The Temple has escalator for visitors who want to visit the bury/ the tomb worship area.
