Soo-in Okame-no-kata (1573-1642) was a heroine who built the foundations of the Owari Tokugawa clan. After losing her first husband, she lived with Tokugawa Ieyasu and gave birth to Yoshinao, who would later become the first lord of the Owari clan. Okame-no-kata cared for Yoshinao along with Ieyasu in Sunpu Castle in his later years, and when he died, she shaved her head, took the name Soo-in, and moved into Nagoya Castle to support Yoshinao. Soo-in passed away in 1642, and the following year, Houkisan Soo-ji Temple was built below Nagoya Castle as her family temple.
Soo-ji Temple was moved from its original location in Higashi-ku to its current location in Chikusa-ku in 1932, but images of Soo-in Temple painted by Yoshinao have been passed down, and valuable paintings on the cedar doors dating back to the temple's founding still remain. In 2024, the paintings, Buddhist paintings, and statues owned by Souji Temple, as well as the main hall, main gate, and mountain gate, were designated as tangible cultural properties by the city of Nagoya. To commemorate this, the temple treasures of Souji Temple, centered on the sliding screen paintings, will be open to the public. Please enjoy the luxurious space that surrounded Souji Temple during his lifetime.

The subway is quite convenient, and the scenery at the seaside in Nagoya is nice.
The aquarium is divided into two halls, the south hall&#39;s Sardines Storm show is wonderful,
and the killer whale and dolphin show in the north hall is also good (the killer whale is not as good as Haichang).

We went there at night.
We were rushing to see time-limited attractions during the day.
The shrine is open all day, so we went there at night.
There were not many people in the shrine.
We saw several buildings with ancient charm.
We also saw a wine association listing various wines, which was very interesting.

Easy to redeem the voucher. The view is stunning. I suggest to visit at night.
