Nago-ji (那古寺) is a Buddhist temple located in the Nago neighborhood of the city of Tateyama, in southern Chiba Prefecture, Japan. It belongs to the Shingon-shū Chizan-ha sect and its honzon is a statue of Senjū Kannon Bosatsu (Sahasrabhūja). The temple is the 33rd and final stop on the Bandō Sanjūsankasho pilgrimage route of approximately 1,360 kilometers from Sugimoto-dera in Kamakura. The temple is also called Nago-dera using the alternate pronunciation of the final Chinese character in its name, or the Nago Kannon (古寺観音), after its primary object of worship.
