Chōshō-ji, Buddhist temple in Ota, Japan

The temple complex features a prominent bronze bell and a study hall situated within traditional Japanese architectural structures at its grounds.

Founded in 1185 by Minamoto-no-Yoritomo, the first shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate, Chōshō-ji Temple was built to bring fortune in military campaigns.

The temple's bronze bell holds national recognition as an Important Cultural Property, representing classical Japanese metalwork and religious practices.

Located three minutes by car from Itako Station, the temple maintains an open-door policy with no admission fees for visitors.

The study hall preserves the legacy of Mito Mitsukuni, an influential daimyo who utilized this space during the early Edo period.
