遍照寺, Buddhist temple in Okinawa City, Japan
The Henjoji temple stands in Kubota district with its main hall currently under construction, featuring Dainichi Nyorai as its principal deity.
Originally established between 1450 and 1457 by Monk Tsuruo, the temple was relocated to its present location after destruction during the Battle of Okinawa.
The temple belongs to the Toji Shingon Buddhist sect and previously served as a subsidiary temple to the adjacent Sueyoshi Shrine before the Meiji period.
Located at 1-2-5 Kubota in Okinawa City, the temple grounds include parking facilities and remain accessible from Yamato bus stop within 2 minutes by foot.
The temple changed its original name from Manjuji to Henjoji in 1672 following orders from Satsuma domain, transforming from Rinzai sect to Shingon sect.
