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.
