長岳寺, Buddhist temple in Tenri, Japan

Chogakuji Temple includes the Shoromon Gate, Main Hall, Daimon, and Jizoin structures spread across grounds filled with seasonal flowers and gardens.

The temple was established in 824 by Priest Kukai, with its Shoromon Gate standing as the oldest of its type in Japan for over 1000 years.

The temple houses National Important Cultural Assets including the Amidason and Kannon statues from 1151, displaying characteristics of late Heian period craftsmanship.
