Arako Kannon, Buddhist temple in Nakagawa-ku, Japan.
The temple complex includes a wooden two-story pagoda built in 1536, representing the oldest standing structure in the city of Nagoya.
Founded by monk Taicho in 729, the temple received substantial renovations in 1576 under the direction of Maeda Toshiie, lord of Kaga.
Inside the temple, visitors can observe 1,250 Buddhist statues created by artist Enku, displaying the rich Buddhist sculptural traditions of Japan.
Located at 138 Miyamado in Arako-cho, the temple opens daily from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM and provides 50 parking spaces for visitors.
The temple's main gate features two guardian statues measuring 3 meters in height, protected behind clear screens for preservation.
