Enpukuji, Buddhist temple in Gōdo-chō, Japan
The temple grounds contain a 10-meter tall Great Buddha statue standing on a platform measuring 5 meters in height and 15 meters in length.
Enpukuji Temple was established in the 1500s by Oda Nobuyuki, the lord of Suemori Castle, to commemorate his father Nobuhide and relocated to its current site in 1712.
The temple houses a collection of religious artifacts, including a statue by monk Eshin Sozu and a picture of Benzaiten that belonged to the feudal lord Nobuhide.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking the Higashiyama Subway Line from Nagoya Station to Motoyama Station, followed by a three-minute walk south from Exit 6.
The temple features Japan's largest wooden temple drum, crafted from a century-old camphor tree, which people touch to remove negative energy according to local beliefs.
