Soto Sect, Kokugoyama, Dainin-in
名古屋市中区大須２丁目７−２５
A Soto Zen Buddhist temple enshrining the Buddha Shakyamuni as its main image. It features the Akamon Myo-o-den (Red Gate Myo-o Hall), which is considered the origin of the famous red gate in the Osu shopping district. A monthly festival (enichi) is held on the 28th of every month.
History
Founded in 1603 CE (Keicho 8) in Kiyosu as Seizen-ji, the temple was later renamed Dainin-in after the posthumous name of Matsudaira Tadayoshi. It was relocated to Hinoki Village following the transfer of the castle town to Nagoya, and its mountain name was restored to Kokugoyama during the Genroku period. After being destroyed by fires and the Great Nagoya Air Raid, the main hall and other structures were rebuilt in 2003.
