愛知県名古屋市昭和区八事本町78番地
Koushoji Temple
The extensive grounds of Yagoto-san Koushoji stretch across slopes in eastern Nagoya.
In 1686, famed monk Tenzui opened a temple among the trees in the peaceful setting of these rolling hills. This temple was then strongly connected with the historically important lords of the Owari branch of the ruling Tokugawa family. Well visited by pilgrims, it is also a site on the Chita-Shikoku 88 Merit-making, the Tokai 36 Fudo, the Owari 33 Kannon, the Nagoya 21 Daishi, and Nagoya 7 Lucky Gods prayer circuits.
The precincts cover two hills, Nishiyama to the west and Higashiyama to the east. Nishiyama formerly included the land where the Main Hall and Five-storey Pagoda are now located. In Higashiyama, you can see numerous structures, including magnificent halls and towers, built since the 17th century among the flourishing trees.
Within the grounds you can marvel at the only wooden pagoda in the whole Tokai region. Built in 1808, this elegant Five-storey Pagoda is a National Important Cultural Asset. Everywhere, in the ancient documents held in the halls, and in the Buddhist images and implements, you can see the centuries-old roots of history.
For each generation throughout 330 years, the gates of Yagoto-san Koushoji have been open to all who want to enter. Still today, young monks come here for training and, more than ever, the local people often come just to enjoy a stroll. On land that has been long revered, among ancient structures and monuments, surrounded by nature, you can find peace and leave your cares behind.

- quote
The bright red timbers and green copper roof of Inuyama Narita-san Temple make it one of the most photographed temples in Aichi Prefecture. The temple is a branch of the Shingon sect Narita-san Temple, based in Narita, near Tokyo’s international airport. Shingon Buddhism is a form of esoteric Buddhism that believes enlightenment can be attained in one’s lifetime through spiritual practice of mantras. Associated with the priest, Kobo Daishi, and the many temples he founded on holy Mt. Koya, Inuyama Narita-san is situated on a steep hill providing picturesque views of the Kiso River, Inuyama Castle, and on clear days, the skyscrapers of Nagoya-City.
The temple, near Inuyama Yuen Station, was founded in 1953 and contains a principal image of the powerful deity, Fudo Myou, holding a sword in his right hand, and a rope in his left. Almost every month a number of special events are held at the temple, including festivals and important events on the Buddhist calendar.
The temple is popular with drivers across Aichi, as it offers prayers and amulets for safe motoring.

Later around 1655 the villagers of 長尾村 Nagao village had the statue excarvated under the supervision of 大島四郎兵衛久成 (大嶋四郎兵衛久成) Oshima Shirobei Hisanari, but the villagers from Nishiura came along and claimed it was their protector deity.
It came to a fight and Nishimura won, trying to take the statue with them.
