Daiju-ji (大樹寺) is a Buddhist temple (was constructed as a Jodo Buddhist school) situated in Okazaki, Aichi, Japan. It was established by Matsudaira Chikatada, a member of the fourth generation of the Matsudaira family in 1475 and served as the family temple for both the Matsudaira and Tokugawa clans, who governed Japan from 1600 to 1868.
