Chōfuku-ji, Buddhist temple in Inazawa, Japan

Chōfuku-ji is a Buddhist temple in Inazawa featuring a main hall with traditional Japanese architecture built from wooden beams, curved roofs, and detailed ornamental elements. The grounds contain several connected structures arranged to serve different aspects of religious practice and daily monastic life.

The temple was established more than 700 years ago and remains a center for the Hossō school of Buddhism in the Inazawa region. Over the centuries it received support from local families who ensured its continued spiritual importance.

The temple serves as a center for the local Buddhist community and hosts regular prayer sessions that bring people together throughout the year. Visitors can observe how the space shapes the spiritual rhythm of those who come to practice their faith here.

The temple grounds are open to visitors daily and can be explored on foot with clear pathways throughout the site. It is best to wear modest clothing and keep noise to a minimum out of respect for the spiritual atmosphere of the place.

The temple grounds hold a collection of stone markers and monuments that record the names and stories of local families who supported the site over many centuries. These carved stones function as a kind of silent history, preserving connections between past contributors and the place they helped sustain.
