Kasadera Kannon, Buddhist temple in Minami-ku, Nagoya, Japan.
The temple features a two-story pagoda, multiple worship halls, and two entrance gates, with the southern Niomon gate decorated with ornamental dolphins.
Founded in 733 by monk Zenko Shonin, who carved an eleven-faced Kannon statue from driftwood found on Yobitsugi beach during Emperor Shomu's reign.
The temple grounds contain stone memorials with haiku poems by Matsuo Basho and maintain connections to swordsman Miyamoto Musashi's nearby dojo.
Visitors can explore the temple grounds daily from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM without admission fees and access fifteen available parking spaces.
On the 18th day of each month, the temple transforms into an antiques market where vendors sell traditional items including kimono, furniture, and books.
