林光寺, Buddhist temple in Midori-ku, Japan

Rinkoji is a Shingon Buddhist temple of the Koyasan school in Midori-ku, Yokohama, on a site reached from the south exit of Kamoi Station on the JR Yokohama Line. Its mountain name is Kamoi-san, and it is the 66th of the 88 sacred sites of the Kanto pilgrimage. The grounds were rebuilt between 1974 and 1995 after two fires, in 1818 and 1894, destroyed earlier buildings.

Rinkōji was founded in 1449 by Yoshikei and revived during the Keichō era by Seijun. It burned down in 1818 and again in 1894, and was rebuilt through improvements carried out between 1974 and 1995. It belongs to the Kōyasan Shingon school and is the 66th site of the Kantō 88 Sacred Places pilgrimage.
