Manshō-ji Temple: A modern shrine that blends into the Osu shopping district

When you come to Nagoya, you must go shopping in the shopping street next to Osu Kannon Temple. There is a temple that blends perfectly into the shopping street scene, with a huge sign and rainbow paper umbrellas, as if it is a flagship store for souvenirs. There is even a street named after it in Osu Shopping Street, which is [Manshōji]. Different from other ancient temples that are simple and solemn or elegant and quiet, this one is integrated into the modernization of Osu Shopping Street by removing the old roof tiles. The ema and amulets on the side are displayed and sold like tourist commodities. I think this is also the way for temples and shrines to make a living in the future. To make money, all you need to do is prepare a few more bad luck fortune sticks and amulets to ward off bad luck. Presumably, the magic power can spread far and wide, and it will become more and more modern. #JapanTravel #JapanFree Travel #Shrine #Osu shopping street #Nagoya
