Kakuōzan Nittai-ji

Nestled in the heart of Nagoya, the Kakuōzan Nittai-ji Temple stands as a testament to the enduring friendship between Japan and Thailand. Established in 1904, this unique Buddhist temple was built to house the sacred ashes of Buddha, gifted by the Thai King Chulalongkorn. 

The temple's striking architecture, blending Japanese and Thai elements, is a visual feast. It features a five-story pagoda, a gold-bronze Buddha statue, and lush temple grounds that offer a serene retreat from the bustling city.

Kakuōzan Nittai-ji is not affiliated with any particular Buddhist sect and symbolizes unity and peace. Visitors can explore its beautifully manicured gardens, admire the intricate details of the temple buildings, and attend the vibrant flea market held on the 21st of each month.

The temple also hosts yearly festivals, providing a deeper insight into Buddhist traditions and Japanese culture. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a spiritual seeker, or simply looking for a peaceful escape, Kakuōzan Nittai-ji Temple invites you to experience its tranquil beauty and rich cultural heritage.
