Gokoku-ji (?) is a Shingon Buddhist temple in Tokyo's Bunkyō-ku. It was established by the mother of the Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi.
In 1873, Emperor Meiji declared Gokoku-ji the Imperial mausoleum, and several of his children are buried there, as well as Emperor Meiji himself. It remains the Imperial mausoleum today.
Gokoku-ji is also famous as the central temple that oversees the practice of Japanese tea ceremony in all the country's temples.
