Chōzu-ya or temizu-ya (手水舎) are purification buildings in Shinto shrines. They provide water for a purification ceremony called temizu or chōzu (手水; lit. 'hand-water'). They contain a water filled object called chōzubachi (手水鉢; lit. 'hand water basin').

The water sometimes comes from wells and sometimes from tap water.[1]
