Chōkyū-ji, Buddhist temple in Kamimachi, Japan.
The main hall of Chōkyū-ji exhibits traditional irimoya-zukuri architecture with hinoki bark roofing, reflecting the building methods of thirteenth-century Japanese craftsmanship.
Founded in 1358, the temple contains important structures including the Hon-dō, Shoin, and Kaisan-dō, which preserve architectural elements from the Kamakura period.
The temple houses an eleven-faced Kannon statue, the principal Buddhist figure, along with multiple wooden statues from the Muromachi period within its halls.
Visitors can explore the temple grounds from Friday through Sunday between 10 AM and 3 PM, with direct bus connections available from Tomio Station.
A gorintō memorial stone and a hōkyōintō containing hair strands mark the historical connection between the temple and the Ashikaga shogunate dynasty.
