Houn-ji Temple, located in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, is a short walk from Owari Seto Station on the Meitetsu Line and near Fukagawa Shrine. This temple is known for its rare ceramic bell (pottery), a replacement for the metal bell that was requisitioned during World War II. The ceramic bell, a city-designated cultural property, is a unique artifact reflecting Seto's pottery heritage. While the temple itself is small and simple, the ceramic bell is a noteworthy sight. Note that there is no parking available. Best to visit during the afternoon.
