Osu Kannon's 'Gohonzon Ennichi' on the 18th: Special Rituals and Prayers
Osu Kannon holds its "Gohonzon Ennichi" on the 18th of each month, featuring special rituals and memorial services to express gratitude. Experience a unique day at Nagoya's power spot.
Join us at Osu Kannon, a beloved power spot in Nagoya, on the 18th of every month for the "Gohonzon Ennichi" (Honored Buddha's Anniversary).
On this special day, in addition to the regular goma rituals, there are special morning and evening sessions starting at 6 AM and 6 PM, respectively. These include special goma ceremonies and the "Dai Hannya Tendoku-e" (Great Wisdom Sutra Chanting), where a memorial service is held to express gratitude to the Honored Buddha, Kannon.
While Osu Kannon hosts various events throughout the year, including New Year's visits, Setsubun festivals, and Flower Festivals, the monthly "Gohonzon Ennichi" offers a more intimate way to experience the temple's rich history and culture.
This is a perfect opportunity to start the year with good fortune or to express your gratitude. We encourage you to visit Osu Kannon and experience this special day.
