Hōji-ji, Buddhist temple in Atsuta-ku, Japan.
The temple stands along Fushimi-dori avenue and features traditional Buddhist architecture with gates, statues, and lanterns throughout its grounds.
Originally established as a Fujiwara clan villa during the late Heian period, the site became a temple following its donation in memory of Minamoto no Yoritomo.
The temple maintains Buddhist ceremonies and provides meditation spaces while incorporating elements like purification troughs with dragon sculptures for ritual cleansing.
Located near Atsuta Shrine and Shirotori Garden, the temple offers on-site parking facilities for visitors exploring religious sites in Nagoya.
The temple grounds contain an unusual statue resembling a sumo wrestler among its collection of Buddhist figures and stone monuments.
