I like Kingdom of Thailand.

Kakuouzan Nittaiji (日泰寺)　Nagoya Japan 名古屋　日本
覚王山とは、悟り（目覚め）の王様＝お釈迦様のこと。
日泰寺とは日本とタイの友好をあらわす寺という意味。

日泰寺は、シャム国チュラロンコーン国王から贈られた釈迦の遺骨を奉安するために、1904年に創建された日本で唯一の超宗派寺院。
インドで見つかったお釈迦様の本当の遺骨（仏舎利）を、タイ国王（チュラロンコン国王陛下）から譲り受けることになり、日本の仏教各宗派が一致協力して建立。

仏舎利を下さったタイのチュラロンコン国王陛下と２体のゾウの銅像が、本堂横にある。

NITTAIJI indicates NI (Japan) TAI (Thailand) JI (Temple) and named so in 1904 due to the contribution of part of the true ashes of Buddha Sakyamuni (the founder of Buddhism) to Japan from then Thai (Siamese at that time) King Chulalongkorn who was a grandfather of the present Thai King. Nagoya which is located in the middle of the country was chosen a site of new temple to keep the Buddha's ashes. The golden statue of Buddha you see here is a Thai style which is rare in Japan. That was also presented by the Siamese King.
梵: शाक्यमुनि、zaakya-muni　釈迦牟尼
