Chōfuku-ji

Chōfuku-ji, Buddhist temple in Midori-ku, Japan

Chōfuku-ji is a temple of the Nishiyama Jōdo-shū school in Midori-ku, Nagoya, with the mountain name Wakō-zan and the cloister name Tentaku-in. Its main image is Amida Nyorai. The grounds hold a main hall, a Yakushi hall, a Kannon hall and a bell tower, with a lotus pond to the south and a cemetery at the eastern rear.

Tradition places the founding in 1538 by the monk Zenkū Nanryū, who is said to have received the Imagawa troops arriving at the site during the 1560 Battle of Okehazama. The temple served as a memorial for Imagawa Yoshimoto, killed in that battle. Other records hold that Zenkū Nanryū died in 1701 and restored a then-declined temple, while the Owari Junkyōki states the original founding is unknown. A further theory dates the foundation to 1569.

Chōfuku-ji belongs to the Seizan Jōdo-shū branch of Pure Land Buddhism and is known as a memorial temple for Imagawa Yoshimoto, who died at the 1560 Battle of Okehazama. In the temple grounds stand wooden statues of Yoshimoto and Matsui Muneshige, marked by a stone pillar, and the temple keeps the Okehazama Kassenki, armour and spears.

A car park for worshippers sits along the approach. By public transport, take the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line to Arimatsu Station, then a Nagoya City Bus (route 12 or the Midori loop) from the Meitetsu Arimatsu stop to Okehazama Teramae. Many visitors walk between the temple and nearby Okehazama battlefield sites, starting or ending at Arimatsu Station.

The temple keeps wooden statues of Imagawa Yoshimoto and Matsui Muneshige, with a marker post in the grounds naming them, along with a record of the Battle of Okehazama, armour and spears. Near the entrance gate stands a great cedar, said to mark where Yoshimoto's tea attendant Rin'ami was ordered to inspect his lord's severed head; the original fell in the 1959 Ise Bay Typhoon and a second stands in its place.
