History
In 1699 CE (Genroku 12), Kenbe Masahiro, the 13th Fushimi Commissioner, relocated the buildings of Tamon-in, a sub-temple of Sokusei-in, to the current site to promote the revival of Fushimi, establishing a new temple. The name Chogonji was chosen by taking the character 'Ken' from the family name Kenbe and the character 'Cho' to wish for longevity. Since then, it has served as a place of prayer for the Fushimi Commissioners.
