Tennei-ji, Buddhist temple in Monzen-cho, Japan
The temple complex contains numerous Buddha statues, including a collection of 500 rakan statues arranged on stepped shelves around the walls.
Established in the 1500s by Oda Nobuyuki, lord of Suemori Castle, the temple moved to its current location in Monzen-cho around 1712.
The temple houses Japan's largest wooden temple drum, crafted from a century-old camphor tree, and a special statue of Kannon by monk Eshin Sozu.
Located at Yotsuya-dori in Chikusa-ku, the temple operates daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM in summer and 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in winter.
The Great Buddha of Nagoya at Tennei-ji stands 10 meters tall on a 5-meter platform, supported by 10 elephants instead of a lotus flower.
