Yokawa Jōkō-in, Buddhist temple in Sakamotohonmachi, Japan.

Yokawa Jōkō-in features a standing statue of Shokannon, which holds the designation of Important Cultural Property within its restored structure.

The temple began in 850 when monk Jikaku-daishi established Shuryogon-in Temple, though the current building dates from 1971 after lightning destroyed the previous one.

The temple forms part of the New Saigoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage Sites and maintains traditional Tendai Buddhist practices through meditation and training programs.

Visitors can reach the temple via Cable Enryakuji Station, which connects to major transportation networks from Kyoto and Osaka.

Located within the Enryaku-ji complex, this temple sits approximately 4 kilometers north of Saito, offering direct access to Mount Hiei's religious heritage.
