Shinshū Ōtani-ha Nagoya Betsuin

The Shinshū Ōtani-ha Nagoya Betsuin is a Buddhist temple with traditional Japanese architecture located in Tachibana, featuring spacious grounds that contain multiple ceremonial buildings and meditation spaces. The layout is designed for quiet contemplation and spiritual practice.

The temple was founded in 1690 by Buddhist leader Ichinyo and has remained an important religious center since then. Its long history is closely tied to the development of Buddhism in the region.

This place serves as a gathering point for Pure Land Buddhist practitioners in the area, where followers come together to perform rituals and deepen their spiritual practice.

The temple sits near Betuin Station, where visitors can find English signage directing them to the main entrance and information about upcoming activities. The location is easy to reach on foot from the station.

The temple grounds host the largest morning market in Aichi Prefecture, where around 170 vendors sell fresh produce and handmade items on the 8th, 18th, and 28th of each month. This busy market adds a different dimension to visiting the temple.
