Gōtoku-ji

Daikeizan Gōtoku-ji (大谿山 豪徳寺) is a Buddhist temple located in the Gōtokuji district of Setagaya ward, Tokyo, Japan.

[1] Gōtoku-ji is a Sōtō Zen temple and served as the Bodai-ji (bodhi temple) of the Ii clan, who were lords of the Hikone Domain, in Edo period.

[2] Gōtoku-ji was established as Kōtoku-in in 1480, and was renamed "Edo Bodaiji" when the entire region came under the ownership of the Hikone Domain in 1633.

In 1659, it was renamed Gōtoku-ji after the posthumous Buddhist name of the domain's second feudal lord, Ii Naotaka.
