“Did you know that a temple exists almost hidden between the bustling districts of Shibuya, Roppongi and Aoyama?” That’s Chokokuji Temple. It is a Soto Zen temple founded in 1598. The original buildings faced destruction during World War II. The temple you see today is a reconstruction.

Chokokuji Temple offers a peaceful escape. It is conveniently located a short walk from Omotesando Station. This station is served by the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon, Ginza, and Chiyoda Lines.

The Hatto serves as the main hall of Chokokuji Temple. Another important structure is the Sodo. Monks use the Sodo hall to practice Zazen.

Inside the Kannondo, you will find a remarkable sight. A 10-meter wooden statue of Kannon stands tall. Kannon is a Buddhist divinity of mercy. The statue’s gender is unknown. You can offer prayers to Kannon freely. The hall is open from 6 am to 5 pm.

Chokokuji Temple offers a serene space for reflection. It is a place where you can connect with Buddhist traditions. The temple’s history and art make it a worthwhile visit. Take a moment to appreciate the temple’s beauty.
