Eikoku-ji, Buddhist temple in Tachibana district, Nagoya, Japan

Eikoku-ji encompasses multiple wooden structures with traditional Japanese architectural elements, gardens, and meditation spaces within its temple grounds.

The temple, established in 1665 by Tokugawa Mitsutomo of the Owari branch, represents a significant period of Buddhist expansion during the Edo period.

The temple serves as a center for Buddhist education and training, maintaining the traditions of the Seizan Jōdo-shū sect through ceremonies and teachings.

Visitors can reach the temple via public transportation from central Nagoya, with regular prayer sessions and meditation opportunities available throughout the day.

The temple participates in both the Chita-Shikoku 88 Merit-making circuit and the Tokai 36 Fudo circuit, making it a destination for pilgrims.
