Goshikien

The extensive garden of Goshikien features multiple religious sculptures and statues created by concrete artist Asano Shoun throughout its 20-acre grounds.

Established in 1934 as part of the Daianji Temple complex, Goshikien received official recognition as a religious corporation named Goshikizan Daianji in 1973.

The park displays numerous concrete sculptures depicting the lives and teachings of Buddhist figures like Shinran, Honen, and Rennyo for educational purposes.

Visitors can access the park via the Meitetsu Bus or Nisshin City Kururin Bus, with a dedicated stop named Goshikien located near the entrance.

This religious park stands as the only one of its kind in Japan, combining Buddhist educational elements with traditional Japanese garden design principles.
