Kōjō-ji, Buddhist temple in Hachioji, Japan.

The wooden structures of Kōjō-ji include multiple halls and worship spaces designed according to traditional Japanese temple architecture patterns.

The temple maintains historical records of Korean envoy visits and houses a memorial tower dedicated to Nobuyasu, son of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The temple serves as a center for Buddhist ceremonies and religious practices, following the traditions of the Hossō school of Japanese Buddhism.

Visitors can access Kōjō-ji through a 10-minute walk from JR Shimizu Station or drive via the Tomei Shimizu Interchange.

The temple preserves a significant historical relic: the hair of Nobuyasu, eldest son of the Tokugawa clan, within its sacred grounds.
