Amida-ji, Buddhist temple in Kamigyo-ku, Japan
Amida-ji Temple stands near the Teramachi street with a central gate, garden areas, bell tower, and main hall housing Amida Buddha statues.
Established in 1555 by priest Gyokuyo Seigyoku in Sakamoto, the temple moved to its current location during Toyotomi Hideyoshi's urban reconstruction in 1585.
The temple grounds contain a stone monument with a haiku by Matsuo Basho, reflecting its connection to Japanese poetry and literature movements.
The temple opens daily from 9:00 to 16:00, with special access to the main hall granted on June 2nd for a fee of 1000 yen.
Amida-ji serves as the official mausoleum of Oda Nobunaga, containing the graves of the warlord, his son Nobutada, and numerous warriors from the Honno-ji incident.
