Tōun-ji, Buddhist temple in Nishi-ku, Nagoya, Japan
The temple complex includes a 10-meter tall green Buddha statue mounted on a platform supported by ten bronze elephants.
Established in 1502 by Oda Nobuyuki to commemorate his father Oda Nobuhide, the temple moved to its current location in 1714.
The temple incorporates both Buddhist and Hindu elements, featuring a Shiva-Lingam from the 16th century and a shrine dedicated to Saraswati.
Visitors can reach the temple from Motoyama Station on the Higashiyama Subway Line, with clear signage guiding the way.
The temple houses Japan's largest wooden drum, crafted from a century-old camphor tree, measuring one meter in diameter.
