Kenchū-ji (建中寺) is a Jōdo-shū Buddhist temple in Tsutsui, Higashi-ku, Nagoya, central Japan. Starting in the Edo period, the mausoleums of the lords of the Owari Domain were located there, making it the Bodaiji of the Owari Tokugawa family.^[1]

The present main hall of the Nagoya Tōshō-gū was a mausoleum for Lord Tokugawa Yoshinao's consort Haruhime (春姫), which used to be located at Kenchū-ji, and was moved to the site in 1953 as a replacement. It is a designated cultural property of Aichi prefecture.
