長源院, Buddhist temple in Kutsunoya, Shizuoka, Japan

Chogenin Temple features traditional Japanese architecture with multiple halls and a central courtyard surrounded by meticulously maintained gardens and old trees.

The temple, established in 1488 by Zen master Kakuzan Kenchi, received visits from Tokugawa Ieyasu during his falcon hunting expeditions between 1596 and 1615.

The temple holds important cultural artifacts, including handwritten tablets and memorial tablets from Tokugawa Ieyasu, along with numerous ancient grave monuments.

Located within walking distance from the nearest station in Shizuoka City's Aoi district, the temple welcomes visitors throughout the year for religious ceremonies.

The temple grounds contain multiple graves of historical figures, including the founder Asahina Yasushi, and underwent several reconstructions after fires in 1743 and 1774.
