Henjo-in, Buddhist temple in Kanagawa district, Yokohama, Japan.

Henjoin Temple stands near Shin-Koyasu stations with traditional Japanese architectural elements and multiple prayer halls within its grounds.

Founded in 1458 by Yuto, the temple relocated to its current location along Tokaido Road in 1590 and underwent reconstruction in 1956.

The temple belongs to the Koyasan Shingon school of Buddhism, offering religious services and maintaining spiritual practices for the local community.

Visitors can reach the temple within 5 minutes on foot from JR Shin-Koyasu Station or Keikyu Shin-Koyasu Station on the Keikyu Main Line.

A railroad crossing cuts through the temple grounds, leading to its local nickname Temple of the Railroad Crossing.
