田村寺, Buddhist temple in Yokkaichi, Japan.

Tamura-ji is a modern Buddhist temple of the Shingon sect in Nishitomita, Yokkaichi, with the mountain name Kōbō-san and Kōbō Daishi as its principal image. Its main hall ceiling bears the family crests donated by parishioners, and the grounds also hold an Inari shrine and the Namu Hōji Jizō hall.

The monk Daiji Henshō II built the Daishi-dō in the mid-Meiji era, enshrining Kōbō Daishi as the main image. The monk Shinyō later regularised the temple's status and placed it under the Shingon-shū Daigo-ha. A votive offering from 1945, made by a naval air corps member at Kōyama praying for victory in China, is kept here.

The main hall ceiling bears family crests donated by parishioners, honoured in a prayer service on 10 October. At the winter solstice a rite against paralysis (chūfū) is held and visitors are served pumpkin zenzai, earning the temple the nickname "Pumpkin Kōbō". A calligraphy exhibition is held for Setsubun, and a monthly fair takes place on the 24th at the Namu Hōji Jizō hall.

Tamura-ji lies about 1 km from Kintetsu Tomida Station on the Kintetsu Nagoya Line and Sangi Railway, and about 0.8 km from JR Tomida Station on the Kansai Main Line. By car it is roughly 1.2 km from the Matsubara-cho intersection of National Route 1. The Tokaido road passes about 0.2 km west of the temple.

The main hall ceiling bears the family crests donated by parishioners, and on 10 October a prayer service is held for their prosperity. The temple also keeps a prayer for victory in China offered by a naval air corps soldier in 1945, during the war.
