Sōken-ji, Buddhist temple in Naka-ku, Japan

The Sōken-ji temple features a grand entrance with two guardian statues and traditional tiled roofs within its closed compound grounds.

Relocated in 1596 by Oda Nobukatsu, the temple serves as a memorial site for his father, the powerful warlord Oda Nobunaga.

The temple grounds remain closed to the public, but visitors can view the architecture through the main gate near Osu shopping district.
