A temple located in Houou-cho, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya. It is an independent temple managed by 19 sects in rotation. Its mountain name is Kakuozan. The principal image was originally the Shaka Nyorai (Shaka Nyorai) of the Ben Chiang Sang Temple in Laos. In 1898 (Meiji 31), the remains of the true Buddha were excavated by the British sect William Pebbe in Piprahwa, northern India, and were divided and enshrined in England, India, and Thailand (then Siam). In 1900 (Meiji 33), the King of Thailand presented the Buddha's relics and a gilt bronze statue of the Buddha to a representative of the Japanese Buddhist Association. After returning home with the relics, a joint envoy from various Japanese Buddhist sects temporarily enshrined them at Myoho-in Temple in Kyoto, but in 1904, the various sects united to build Nissen-ji Temple (later renamed Nittai-ji Temple) on this site. The relics will be enshrined in a large Gandhara-style stone tower (a tower to enshrine the Buddha). [Tamura Kosuke] It is an independent temple managed by 19 sects in rotation. It was founded in 1904 to enshrine the Buddha's relics (the remains of the Buddha) that were presented by the King of Thailand in 1900 (Meiji 33). The temple's name "Nichi-Tai" stands for Japan and Thailand. The head priests of each sect take turns serving as the chief priest every three years.
