Chōhō-ji, Buddhist temple in Kainan, Japan

Chōhō-ji is a Tendai Buddhist temple in Kainan whose main hall (1311), two-tiered Tahōtō pagoda (1357) and Daimon gate (1388) are National Treasures. The main hall has an irimoya roof with five bays on each side, and the gate bears a plaque reading "Keitokuzan Chōhō-ji" in the calligraphy of Prince Goin of Myōhō-in.

The temple was founded around 1000 by a disciple of Ennin at the request of Emperor Ichijō. It was later relocated to its current location during the Kamakura period, where it has remained since.

The cemetery holds 28 tombs: twelve for the daimyō of the Kishū Tokugawa and the rest for their wives and children. Each tomb stands within a stone fence, with a granite-paved floor and basalt approach and walls, and the shape of the tombstone changes from one generation to the next.

The temple is reached from Shimotsu Station on the JR Kisei Main Line by taxi or on foot, a walk of about 30 minutes. By car it is about 15 minutes from the Kainan Interchange on the Hanwa Expressway. The address is 689 Kamishimotsu-cho, Kainan, Wakayama.
