The shop signs are huge and really fun! You can tell the owners put a lot of thought and creativity into the storefront designs.

Yagoto-san Kōshō-ji Temple
A Shingon Buddhist temple founded in 1688 by Priest Tenrui Enshō. Long revered as a place for learning and training. Since Tokugawa Mitsutomo (1625-1700), the second lord of the Owari Domain, became a devotee, Kōshō-ji received support from the Owari Tokugawa family, including the construction of temple halls and donations of many treasures. The grounds feature many Edo-period structures, such as the Nishiyama Main Hall and Nōman Hall.
The five-story pagoda is impressive. It feels really special to find a temple like this right in the middle of Nagoya.

Meiji Jingu Museum
The Meiji Jingu Museum, which stands quietly on the approach in the Meiji Jingu precinct, lined with giant trees, opened in 2019 as a memorial service for the 100th anniversary of Meiji Jingu establishment. The museum preserves and exhibits items related to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, the deities of Meiji Jingu Shrine.
Meiji Jingu is located in the busy heart of Tokyo and is a shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, representing Japan's history and culture. As soon as you enter, the vast forest and tidy paths create a sense of natural peace and harmony.

Izumo Taisha
Izumo Taisha is one of the most revered, ancient shrines in Japan, along with Ise jingu Shrine. Its records go as far back as writings from the Kojiki, Japan’ oldest historical account compiled in 712. The deity enshrined here is Okuninushi no Okami, who is known as the deity of love and marriage.。
This shrine has a great atmosphere and the surroundings are beautiful. The shopping street in front is also a lot of fun to explore.
