Henjou-in, Shingon Buddhist temple in Imabari, Japan.

Henjou-in is a Shingon-shu Buzan-ha temple in Kikuma-cho, Imabari, Ehime, formally named Hossan Henjou-in Nichirin-ji. Its north Niomon gate facing the national road holds a demon-tile (onigawara) instead of guardian figures, and a separate bell tower gate stands on the east side. The main hall enshrines a secret image of Yakuyoke Kobo Daishi, flanked by Fudo Myoo on the right and Kongo Yasha Myoo on the left.

According to tradition, Kūkai (Kōbō Daishi) founded the temple in 815 (Kōnin 6) after carving a Shō Kannon image on the peak here; he also carved his own statue as a yakuyoke image. In the Meiō era the lords of Takasenjō and Aki and Iyo donated fields, but two fires during the Tenshō era destroyed every hall except the yakuyoke Daishi statue. It was rebuilt as a prayer temple of the Matsuyama domain.

The temple is nicknamed Yakuyoke Daishi, and pilgrims walk through the bell tower gate wearing straw sandals, which are burned afterwards to ward off misfortune. At the Setsubun festival on 3 February, a portable shrine topped with an onigawara tile from Kikuma is carried by 42-year-old men, while 61-year-olds scatter beans and rice cakes to the cry "Fuku wa uchi, oni mo uchi".

The temple stands on National Route 196 in the Kikuma district; the Niomon gate faces the road, and the bell tower gate is on the east side. From JR Shikoku Kikuma Station it is about a seven-minute walk, and the Kikuma Henjo-in bus stop of the Izumi Kanko airport limousine (reservation required) is right by the temple. Visitors remove their shoes at the bell tower gate, pray in straw sandals, and the sandals are burned afterwards in a rite that clears misfortune.

The onigawara demon-tile kept here was designated a tangible cultural property of Imabari in 1983 and is now held at the city's Kawara Museum. At the Setsubun festival, a portable shrine topped with a demon tile made of Kikuma's local roof tiles is carried through the streets by men in their unlucky 42nd year.
