Chōgaku-ji, 長岳寺, is a historic Buddhist temple in Tenri City, Nara Prefecture, Japan. Founded in 824 by the revered monk Kūkai (also known as Kōbō Daishi), the temple is affiliated with the Kōyasan Shingon-shū sect of Buddhism. It is situated along the ancient Yamanobe-no-Michi trail, the oldest road in Japan.
