Tōgan-ji Temple

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
