Jōkō-ji, Buddhist temple in Fujisawa, Japan

The temple grounds contain multiple ancient trees, including Japanese nutmeg trees over 300 years old and camphor trees at the entrance gate.

Founded in 1572 as Hachioji-san Setsuin Joko-ji, the temple belongs to the Pure Land Buddhist sect and functions as a branch of Komyo-ji Temple.

The temple houses several important cultural properties, including wooden statues of Amida Buddha and Jizo Bodhisattva from the Northern and Southern Courts period.

Located 7 minutes on foot from Fujisawa-honcho Station on the Odakyu Enoshima Line, the temple provides forest therapy experiences in its grounds.

The temple grounds served as the location of the first police station in Fujisawa, established during the Meiji period in 1872.
