Henjō-in, Buddhist temple in Chiryū, Japan.
The temple complex contains multiple traditional structures with Japanese architectural designs surrounded by meditation gardens featuring stone pathways and lanterns.
Dating back several centuries, Henjoin serves as the first temple on the pilgrimage route of the three Mikawa Kobo Temples in Aichi Prefecture.
The temple holds the Mikaeri Kobo Daishi statue, one of three statues dedicated to Monk Kobo Daishi within the Shingon Buddhist tradition.
Monthly markets take place at Henjoin every third Sunday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, offering local produce and handmade products to visitors.
On the 21st day of each lunar month, the temple celebrates the Anniversary of Kobo Daishi's Death with street vendors filling the surrounding area.
