One of Nagoya's most tamous Buddhist temples, right by the lively Osu shopping district. It's dedicated to Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy.
I came here rainy Christmas day. There was chanting played via speakers. Along with the scent of incense, it was very peaceful experience.

A very large temple with a large open air mall beside it. Highlight is the pigeons, for 50 yen you can feed them.
Interesting Buddhist temple located in the Osu district of Nagoya. The main hall is easily recognizable with its bright red structure and large lantern, giving the place a traditional and photogenic atmosphere.
Place to visit while exploring the Osu neighborhood. Not very large, but worth a short stop if you are walking around the area.
Its located right beside Osu Shotengai(osu shopping street)
Make sure to come early to beat the crowds.
There is also a puppet show beside the temple but was not able to check the show times.
Great place to visit as long as weather is good.
I visited one morning last November. It was quiet and pleasant; the temple itself isn’t as big as I’d imagined, I was perhaps a little disappointed, but as my hotel was nearby, I don’t regret stopping by, it’s just that I don’t think there’s enough to see to spend a long time there. But more than the temple, I think it’s worth taking a stroll around the neighbourhood as a whole.
