Kaikoku-ji is a Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple in Nagoya, established in 1539.
The temple grounds contain the grave of Tokashiki peechin (1710-1749), who was a shisan (captain of the guard) in the 1748 Ryukyuan embassy to Edo. He died on 1/12 the following year during the return from Edo, and was buried at Kaikoku-ji.
