Zenkō-ji, Buddhist temple in Minato-ku, Japan

Zenkō-ji is a Jōdo-shū temple in Nagoya's Minato-ku, founded as a branch of the Nagano Zenkō-ji. Its precinct includes the Taian-dō funeral hall, a Koyasu Jizō statue, a Dainichi Nyorai statue, and a Kōbō-dō enshrining the Nagoya San-Kōbō guiding master.

Founded around 1887 as Rinkō-ji in Motofurui, Chikusa-ku, by the Zenkō-ji Tōmyō-kō group to enshrine a replica of the Nagano Zenkō-ji image. In 1913 Abbot Shōzen Katsukawa of Kōmyō-ji settled here, the temple name was transferred from Otokuni, Kyoto, in 1916, and it was renamed Zenkō-ji in 1923. The Tōnan-kai earthquake destroyed the bell tower and three other buildings in 1944; it moved to its present site in 1952 for city planning.

This is a branch temple built to enshrine a replica of the Zenkō-ji image of Nagano, founded around 1887 by the Zenkō-ji Tōmyō-kō association in Motofurui, Chikusa-ku, under the name Rinjō-ji. It was renamed Zenkō-ji in 1923 and moved to its present site in 1952 for urban planning. It belongs to the Jōdo sect and is a member of the Zenkō-ji-kai, which links several Nagoya temples of the same name.

The temple lies about 550 m, roughly seven minutes on foot, from Tsukijiguchi Station on the Nagoya Municipal Subway Meiko Line. The grounds hold the Taian-do ceremony hall, a Koyasu Jizo statue, a Dainichi Nyorai image and the Kobo-do, which enshrines the Nagoya San-Kobo guiding master.

This Nagoya Zenkō-ji houses a bunshin, a replica of the famous image of the main Zenkō-ji in Nagano, built for the Zenkō-ji Tōmyō-kō confraternity organized around 1887. The temple has moved repeatedly after disasters: the 1944 Tōnankai earthquake destroyed the bell tower and three other buildings, and it relocated to its present site in 1952 for city planning.
