MK Guide Recommends
Tucked amid the busy shops and street food stalls of Nagoya’s Osu district, Kigakurin Banshoji Temple presents an intriguing mix of tradition and spectacle. Established in 1540 by Oda Nobuhide—father of Oda Nobunaga—the temple has long been connected to Japan’s warring states period. Today, Banshoji combines a lively, modern vibe: digital projection lantern shows tell the temple’s history at night, while incense floats through its ornate gate and courtyard. Statues of dragons, jizo, and guardians line the grounds, blending the spiritual with the theatrical in true Osu style. Whether you're stopping for quiet reflection or just passing through the bustling arcade, Banshoji offers a striking contrast between old-world devotion and modern expression.
