Kenchū-ji, Buddhist temple in Higashi-ku, Nagoya, Japan
The temple features traditional wooden architecture with multiple buildings arranged around gardens containing stone lanterns and carefully maintained pathways throughout the grounds.
Dating back to the Kamakura period, Kenchū-ji has endured through centuries of Japanese history, maintaining its original purpose as a center of Buddhist practice.
The temple holds regular ceremonies where participants learn Buddhist practices, meditate in designated areas, and receive guidance from resident monks.
Located near public transportation routes in Nagoya's Higashi district, Kenchū-ji welcomes visitors daily from morning until late afternoon throughout the year.
Within the temple grounds, a collection of ancient Buddhist artifacts and manuscripts provides insight into the development of Buddhism in the Nagoya region.
