Kunokkuji Temple

〒462-0837 愛知県名古屋市北区大杉3丁目2−27

3.9(154)

A Soto sect temple with the mountain name Tenchozan. It is known for the bronze bell 'Bell of Joy' created by Taro Okamoto.

History

Founded during the Keicho era by Nagakuni Mamoriyo, who received a guardian Buddha statue from Tokugawa Ieyasu. In 1663 CE (Kanbun 3), it was relocated to its current site to serve as a ward against evil spirits from the northeast direction of Nagoya Castle. Around 1955, it became a sacred site for the Rat year as part of the 'Great Nagoya Twelve Zodiac' temples, enshrining Avalokiteshvara (Kannon) as the principal deity.
