*''Japanese'': 神徳寺 ''(Jintoku-ji)''

Jintoku-ji is a [[Shingon]] Buddhist temple in the Asato neighborhood of [[Naha]], on [[Okinawa Island]]. It was established in the mid-15th century by King [[Sho Toku|Shô Toku]], and is closely associated with the [[Azato Hachiman-gu|Azato Hachiman Shrine]] located nearby.

Though the temple was relocated to the site of [[Oki Shrine]], elsewhere in the city, from [[1908]] until its destruction in 1945, it has since been rebuilt near the [[Hachiman]] Shrine.
