Henjo-in, Buddhist temple in Kanagawa district, Yokohama, Japan.
Henjo-in is a Buddhist temple in Kanagawa ward featuring traditional Japanese architecture and multiple prayer halls within its grounds. The site offers various spaces for religious ceremonies and quiet contemplation.
The temple was established in 1458 and relocated to its current location on the Tokaido Road in 1590. A reconstruction in 1956 gave the structure its present form.
The temple serves as a spiritual center for the Koyasan Shingon school of Buddhism in the local community. Visitors can observe religious practices and rituals that shape daily spiritual life here.
The temple is within a 5-minute walk from Shin-Koyasu Station via the Keikyu Main Line. The grounds are easily accessible and offer straightforward navigation for visitors.
A railroad crossing passes through the temple grounds, earning it the local nickname Temple of the Railroad Crossing. This unusual coexistence of sacred space and modern infrastructure is striking.
