Chōhō-ji, Buddhist temple in Hirano-ku, Japan

Chōhō-ji is a Shingon Buddhist temple of the Kōyasan branch in Hirano-ku, Osaka. Its main hall enshrines an eleven-faced Kannon statue attributed to the sculptor Kasuga, said to have been the personal image of Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, and a statue of King Enma; both are shown on 18 May. The precinct also has a Daishidō, a Gōmadō with an image of En no Gyōja, and a chōzubachi where visitors pour water with a ladle over a stone shaped like a gourd.

Founded during the Daidō era (806–810) by Sakanoue no Haruko, daughter of Sakanoue no Tamuramaro and a consort of Emperor Kanmu, who took vows as a nun under Kūkai after the emperor's death. In the Nanboku-chō period Emperor Go-Daigo used the temple as a temporary palace and granted it the mountain name Ōshasan. The grounds were burned in the Genkō War (1331), the Kenmu disturbances, and the 1615 siege of Osaka; the current main hall and kitchen were rebuilt in the Tenpō era (1830–1844).

The temple's name, Chōhō-ji, is written with the characters for 'long' and 'treasure'. Its main hall houses a wooden statue of King Enma, opened to view each 18 May together with the eleven-faced Kannon. A monk touches visitors with the statue's seal, and the temple issues red-sealed Enma talismans. The temple also keeps the 'Blue Spider Relic' and the 'Yomigaeri Sōshi' scroll.

The temple is easily accessible by train to JR Hirano Station, from where visitors can walk south through streets with local shops and restaurants. The surrounding neighborhood is very walkable and straightforward to navigate.

The main hall's hibutsu, an eleven-faced Kannon said to have been the personal devotional image of Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, is opened only on 18 May each year, together with a wooden Enma statue. The temple also keeps the 'Blue Spider Relic' and a document called the Yomigaeri Sōshi, which recounts the nun Keishin's temporary death in 1439.
