Banshō-ji, Buddhist temple in Ōsu district, Nagoya, Japan
The Buddhist temple features a five-story concrete building with a central hall on the first floor and traditional religious elements throughout the structure.
Oda Nobuhide established the temple in 1540 as a family temple, which later relocated to its current location in Osu during the construction of Nagoya Castle.
The temple contains mechanical dolls that recreate historical scenes, including representations of Oda Nobunaga performing ceremonial dances before military campaigns.
The temple opens daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM with free admission and includes a parking facility for 722 vehicles near Kamimaezu Station.
On the 28th of each month, the temple holds a special event where fresh mochi rice cakes are distributed free to visiting worshippers.
