Conclude the day with a final visit to the temple associated with the Oda clan, standing in the heart of the shopping street
About this spot
A historic temple with a facade facing the Osu Shopping Street arcade, known as the family temple of the Oda clan. It's also famous as the site of the anecdote where young Oda Nobunaga threw incense powder at his father's funeral—a must-see for history enthusiasts. The grounds, revitalized in a modern building, feature animated karakuri dolls that move at set times and elaborate wall displays, surprising visitors with a departure from the traditional temple image. Its casual accessibility—easy to pop into while shopping and eating—is also a major attraction.
Tips
Located within the shopping street, you can visit while on your food exploration route. The karakuri doll performance occurs at set times, so check the schedule posted at the temple before exploring the shopping street for efficiency. Seal stamps (goshuin) are also popular souvenirs.
Best time to visit
Allow approximately 45 minutes. At dusk, as lights come on, the atmosphere grows more evocative alongside the shopping street.
