Hōju-in, Buddhist temple in Nakagawa-ku, Japan

Hōju-in temple features traditional Japanese architectural elements with wooden structures and stone decorations that reflect Pure Land Buddhist design principles.

The temple became an integral part of the Nagoya Seven Lucky Gods pilgrimage route and the Tokai Thirty-Six Fudoson sacred sites network.

The temple maintains regular Buddhist ceremonies where local residents participate in rituals focused on the wish-fulfilling jewel symbolism.

Visitors can reach the temple through multiple bus routes from Nagoya Station, with dedicated parking spaces available for those arriving by car.

The temple incorporates specific bronze ornaments known as giboju on its railings, representing the wish-fulfilling jewel in Buddhist tradition.
