Seidaihi-ji, Buddhist temple in Hataya, Nagoya, Japan
The main hall of Seidaihi-ji contains a statue of the bodhisattva Kannon, created by monk Eshin Sozu, alongside multiple Buddhist artifacts and decorative elements.
Oda Nobuyuki, the lord of Suemori Castle, established Seidaihi-ji in the 1500s to honor his father Nobuhide, with the temple relocating to its current location in 1712.
The temple houses Japan's largest wooden temple drum, crafted from a century-old camphor tree, measuring 1 meter in diameter and believed to clear bad karma when touched.
Visitors can reach Seidaihi-ji by taking the Higashiyama Subway Line from Nagoya Station to Motoyama Station, followed by a short walk toward the south.
A 10-meter bronze Great Buddha statue stands at Seidaihi-ji, supported by 10 elephants and finished with green patina and gold foil accents on facial features.
