Enjoy a slower pace of sightseeing — and perhaps even tap into your spiritual side — at Banshoji Temple. If you're able to go inside, why not stop for a few minutes of quiet self-reflection?

Banshoji Temple is an ideal place kick off your day in Naka Ward. This place of worship comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other attractions like Nagoya Castle, Atsuta Jingu Shrine, and Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology to get a complete picture of what the area has to offer.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (734 reviews)

Room we paid for 3 people was hugh. 4 people could stayed - 2 super single beds and 1 queen bed. A well stocked kitchen with plenty of utensils. An induction cooker which we did not use. Fridge stock with some drinks like a can of coke, saki and beer. Part of the package per day. Washing machine with dryer. A big bathroom and a separate toilet. Overall we love this hotel. Biggest we ever experienced for 3 adults.

This is a great place with the option for public or private onsen. The one draw back for me is that it seems to be a typical location for tour groups.
