Chōfuku-ji, Buddhist temple in Inazawa, Japan

Chōfuku-ji is a Shingon Chizan school temple in Inazawa, Aichi Prefecture, with the mountain name Gozusan. Its Niōmon gate and the two Niō statues inside it are designated cultural properties of Inazawa city, alongside a wooden Thousand-Armed Kannon standing image and wooden Fudō Myōō and Bishamonten statues.

According to tradition, the temple was founded by Prince Shōtoku when he established the miyake and agata system, enshrining Gozu Tennō; it later became the bettō of Tsushima Shrine, built as a branch temple. After the seppuku of Hirate Masahiro, his brother Hirate Masatoshi (Noguchi Masatoshi) revived the derelict temple, and the Noguchi, Sugimoto and Sugi families kept it as their family temple. It belongs to the Chizan branch of Shingon Buddhism.

The temple belongs to the Shingon-shū Chizan-ha school and is dedicated to Gozu Tennō, enshrined here after Prince Shōtoku established the mokuryō and mikuriya system. Tsushima Shrine was later built as a branch temple, with Chōfuku-ji serving as its bettō. The descendants of Hirate Masatoshi's brother Masatoshi (Noguchi Masatoshi), namely the Noguchi, Sugimoto and Sugi families, keep it as their family temple.

Chōfuku-ji lies in Inazawa, Aichi Prefecture, and is reached from Meitetsu Tsushima Line Katsuhata Station, about five minutes by taxi. The temple belongs to the Shingon-shū Chizan-ha school, so check locally before planning a visit, as opening arrangements are not documented in the sources.

The temple keeps three statues of the monk Enkū, a 17th-century sculptor who travelled Japan carving images from whatever wood he found. The temple also holds a designated cultural property: the Niō gate with its two guardian statues, plus a wooden Thousand-Armed Kannon and a wooden Fudō Myōō with Bishamonten.
