Jokoji Temple, located just a few minutes' walk from the Tamozawa Imperial Villa, has a rich history as the family temple of Nikko. It originated from two significant sites: Wojoin, which was situated at the Buddhist Rock and served as the Kogakuin (family temple) of Nikko’s sacred mountain, and Jokubo, established in En'o 2 (1240) by the head priest of Komyo-in, who later became the predecessor of Rinno-ji. The two temples merged in Kan’ei 17 (1640), relocating to their current site and adopting the name Jokoji.
