    Aichi Pref. Inazawashi Yawasechou 2664
    A Buddhist temple located in Mishimamae Yawase-cho, Inazawa City. In the strictest sense, the facility is in fact not a temple but rather a large country estate. The temple's principal object of worship, an 11-headed Kanzeon Bodhisattva statue, has been believed to aid in the recovery from various illnesses since ancient times. Water from the well in the temple's garden is also believed to cure illness, and many worshippers make a prayer here before taking some to bring home.

    細い道を入って行くと民家に見えるお寺? きっと昭和では栄えてたと思える場所 健康に良いと言われている井戸水を汲みに来てる常連らしい人たちがそれなりにいました。 小さなお土産屋さん?と奥に行くと ノラネコ?がたくさんいる園芸店?があります。 めっちゃマイナーな観光地です。 無料駐車場あります

The temple was notably rebuilt in the 1990s and the main temple is a reinforced concrete structure with one floor below ground and five above, while the temple's crypt incorporated cutting edge technologies. On the 28th of every month, the temple hands out mochi rice cakes in connection with a historical event in which Nobunaga's life was saved when the arrow of an enemy aimed at his chest hit a hard, dried rice cake he was carrying instead.

    Aichi Kiyosu-shi Oshima 1-5-2
    "This Rinzai sect Myoshinji Temple branch temple is an eight-minute walk from JR Kiyosu Station. The temple was originally established by the samurai Oda Nobukatsu to memorialize his father, the mighty Oda Nobunaga; the temple was then moved to Osu in Nagoya in 1610. The temple was again moved to its current location in 1830. It is said the temple's official title of ""Koshozan Sokenin"" is derived from the fact that it was founded by the high priest Minzan and that it was created to memorialize Nobunaga. The temple's collection of treasures which have been donated to it include prefecturally designated Cultural Properties such as silk vestments from Tang China and a wooden statue of Avalokitesvara, as well as Nobunaga's ""burnt helm."""

    清洲の北の方にあります。立派なお寺で、本堂には織田信長公の兜がありました。当時の日本の武将が身につけていたものとは違ったように見えました。この兜は、織田信雄公が本能寺の変後に捜索させ捜し当てたものとのことです。また、尾張藩初代藩主義直公より開祖のご住職に贈られた杯も展示してありました。由緒あるお寺だということが分かります。

    Aichi Tokoname-shi Oguracho 5-66
    This Buddhist temple, located within walking distance of Meitetsu Ono Station, was founded by Isshikisakyodaisukemichihide as a Jishu temple in 1314 at the end of the Kamakura period when this sect was at its apex. When it served as a temple for the imperial prayers of Emperor Hanazono, it boasted 17 dwellings for monks plus the temple complex itself, but much of this was lost in an attack by the Kuki navy in 1600. The current main temple building is believed to have been reconstructed in 1820. The grounds encompass the grave of the first lord of the Saji clan, who was the first husband of Go, later the legal wife of Tokugawa Hidetada, the second Edo shogun; as well as a pine tree on which Go is said to have hung her clothes to make it look like she had committed suicide and successfully escape pursuers after the fall of Ono Castle.

Aichi Areas

Aichi is a prefecture of great natural beauty with Nagoya city at its heart, a busy hub home to a labyrinth of underground shops and the 17th-century Nagoya Castle. Castles are easy to find in this history-rich prefecture, but the highlight for history buffs has to be the Museum Meiji-mura, where preserved buildings from the turn of the 20th century are displayed in all their grandeur in an outdoor museum.
