Banshō-ji Building, High-rise building in Ōsu district, Nagoya, Japan.
The Banshō-ji Building is a modern high-rise in the Ōsu district of Nagoya, rising among the busy streets of this central neighborhood. The structure sits directly next to its namesake temple and shares the area with shopping streets and transit connections.
The building was completed in 2002 and occupies land tied to the historic Banshō-ji Temple nearby. The temple was founded in 1540 by Oda Nobuhide, establishing the religious significance that still marks this area today.
