長光寺, Buddhist temple in Inazawa, Japan

Chokoji Temple features a main hall with a statue of the Thousand-Armed Kannon, flanked by two additional halls dedicated to specific deities.

Founded in 851, the temple gained prominence when Ashikaga Takauji designated its hexagonal hall as a prayer site during his march to Kyoto in 1336.

The temple hosts regular ceremonies for safe childbirth and protection from misfortune, maintaining strong connections with local residents through community events.

Located at 694 Chokoji-cho in Omihachiman, the temple offers various religious services including funerals, memorial services, and perpetual memorial graves.

The temple grounds contain a giant tree measuring 15 meters in height and 3 meters in circumference, recognized as a natural monument of Omihachiman City.
