Yoda-ji, Buddhist temple in Higashikagawa, Japan

Yoda-ji is a Shingon-shu Zentsuji-ha temple on Mount Iō in Higashikagawa, known as Kokūzō-in. Its grounds hold a Niō gate, a bell-tower gate, a main hall housing a Yakushi Nyorai image, a Muromachi-period Daishidō, a gomadō and a 13 m tahōtō built in 1984. Stone statues of frogs, snakes and cranes dot the precinct, and the Okunoin Daishidō stands on the hill above.

Founded in 739 by Gyōki as a Hossō-school temple called Yakuō-ji, it was later converted to Shingon by Kūkai and renamed Jingū-ji. Under the monk Zōon from the late 13th century it grew to more than 1,000 branch temples and received the title Kokūzō-in. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's campaign against the Chōsokabe burned most of the halls in the Azuchi-Momoyama period; Matsudaira Yorishige, first lord of Takamatsu, sponsored the rebuilding in the early Edo period, and in the Meiji era the name changed to Yoda-ji.

Yoda-ji is one of the seven lucky gods sites of Sanuki, home to Jurōjin, and serves as the inner sanctuary of the Shikoku 88-temple pilgrimage. The temple name changed from Jingū-ji to Yoda-ji in the Meiji era, after the former Yoda district. Outdoor tea ceremonies are held in the garden of the Daishidō, built in the Muromachi period, in spring and autumn.

The grounds are open freely; the treasure hall keeps 9:00–16:00 hours and closes over New Year. From the Ouchi bus stop on the Takamatsu Expressway it is a 12-minute walk, 17 minutes from the Ouchi Nokyo-mae stop on the Okawa bus Kida line, and 30 minutes on foot from Sanbonmatsu Station on the Kotoku line. The hillside Oku-no-in hall sits above the main precinct.

The temple holds three nationally designated Important Cultural Properties: a wooden standing Fudō Myōō with two attendant figures, a silk hanging scroll of a Jizō Mandala, and a silk scroll of the Buddha's Parinirvana. The grounds also contain a 13-metre tahōtō pagoda built in 1984 and a muku tree designated a prefectural natural monument in 1954.
