Jakkoin, Buddhist temple in Inuyama, Japan
The temple complex encompasses 330,000 square meters and features approximately 1,000 Japanese maple trees that change colors across its extensive grounds.
Built in 646 under Emperor Kotoku's decree, Jakkoin Temple received land grants from Oda Nobunaga in 1565 for spiritual protection of Kiyosu Castle.
The main hall houses a sacred Thousand-Armed Kannon statue, which remains concealed from public view except during specific zodiac years every 60 years.
The temple path includes more than 300 stone steps to reach the main hall, though visitors can use an inclined elevator for easier access.
The observation platform next to the main hall provides views of Inuyama Castle, Komaki Castle, Gifu Castle, and the Suzuka mountain range.
