Chōkyū-ji, Nagoya, Buddhist temple in Higashi-ku, Nagoya, Japan.
The Buddhist temple features a main hall with a hip-and-gable roof construction, displaying architectural elements from the Kamakura period in 1279.
Emperor Shomu ordered Priest Gyoki to establish the temple during the Nara period as a tribute to local ruler Mayumi Takeyumi.
The temple houses a wooden standing statue of eleven-faced Kannon, carved from a single tree trunk during the late Heian period.
The temple maintains regular opening hours and includes several sub-temples within its grounds, making it suitable for extended visits.
The temple's main hall holds National Treasure status and contains part of Emperor Shomu's arrow within its eleven-faced Kannon statue.
