Chōju-ji, Buddhist temple in Midori-ku, Japan
The temple buildings include the main hall, drawing room, founder's hall, and chief abbot's quarters within a landscaped compound of traditional structures.
Established in 1358 by Kantō kubō Ashikaga Motouji at a former family residence to honor his father Ashikaga Takauji, the first shogun of Muromachi period.
The temple holds several Muromachi period statues depicting Ashikaga Takauji, his son Yoshiakira, Kannon deity, and temple founder Kosen Ingen.
Visitors can access the temple grounds from Friday to Sunday between 10 AM and 3 PM, with pocket cameras permitted but professional photography equipment prohibited.
A gorintō memorial and hōkyōintō containing strands of Ashikaga Takauji's hair stand near his grave in the front garden's yagura.
