Virtual Old Tsugaru 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #3 Chosho-ji Temple

 

     Chosho-ji Temple was founded in 1528 by Oura Morinobu (1483-1538) in Tanezato (today’s Ajigasawa, Nishitsugaru District, Aomori) to pray for the comfort of his late adoptive father, Mitsunobu (1460-1526), in the other world.

     As the family's base was relocated, the temple was moved to Oura (today’s Godai, Hirosaki, Aomori Prefecture), where his fortress was located, then to Horikoshi (today’s Horikoshi,  Hirosaki) and then to its present place in 1611.
