Henjō-ji, Buddhist temple of Koyasan Shingon sect in Nakajuku, Japan

The temple stands along Iga-goe Road, featuring traditional architectural elements and old plum trees with pink blossoms within its grounds.

Established in 1570, Henjō-ji received a notable visit from Ieyasu Tokugawa, founder of the Tokugawa shogunate, who rested here during his travels.

The temple maintains practices of the Koyasan Shingon Buddhist sect, offering visitors insights into Japanese religious traditions and ceremonies.

Located at Okuyamada Gakedani 17 in Ujitawara-cho, Tsuzuki-gun, the temple welcomes both religious practitioners and cultural enthusiasts throughout the year.

The temple grounds contain multiple ancient plum trees that produce seasonal displays of reddish pink blossoms against the traditional temple structures.
