This is probably the greenest Buddha in the world

You may have seen golden Buddhas, you may have seen jade Buddhas, but you might not have seen a Buddha as green as this one. In Nagoya, there is a temple called Tougen-ji, and inside is a very green Buddha. The entire body of the Buddha is painted in emerald green, while the eyes, lips, and ears are painted in gold. Such a contrasting color scheme is extremely rare in the world. The pedestal under the Buddha is also uniquely designed, not the common lotus pedestal, but instead, it is shaped like 10 large elephants. Such bold colors and design are indeed very unusual. 🚇How to get there: You can take the train to 'Motoyama Station', come out of Exit 6, turn a corner, and you'll reach Tougen-ji. ⚠️Important Notes: 1️⃣Tougen-ji is currently in a semi-abandoned state, and there is a cemetery nearby, so it is advised that those who are faint-hearted should not go alone. 2️⃣There are a lot of very aggressive mosquitoes in the summer, so be sure to use mosquito repellent. 3️⃣If you are driving, Tougen-ji has a parking lot.

Another Zen Buddha temple in Japan where you can see a huge Buddha statue is in Toganji Temple. The "Great Buddha of Nagoya" is 10-meter tall, and is colored Jade green. The statue was built in 1987, but the temple itself dates back to the 1500s. It is one of the beautiful places in Nagoya that really gave me a great impression. The statue is amazing, the surroundings is quite, and the gardens are beautiful. #wintergetaway
