Nittaiji Temple
KAKUOZAN
SPOT
A harmonious blend of history,
tradition, and contemporary culture
The area is on a small hill in the eastern part of Nagoya and has enjoyed fame for moon viewing. With the establishment of the Kakuozan Nittaiji Temple, the town developed in the style of Higashiyama in Kyoto, and many historical buildings such as temples and shrines still exist.
The area acted as a back-room where Nagoya's businessmen gathered, Ryotei (Japanese-style restaurants), and villas, were built, as a result, while the arts took root in the culture of daily life.
Kakuozan's shopping street is where old traditions and new creators live and breathe in harmony and a popular tourist area on the approach to Nittaiji Temple. The relaxed atmosphere of the town makes it one of the most popular places to live in Nagoya.
