Henjoin Temple

Henjoin, the temple at the first stop on the pilgrimage of the three Kobo figures in Mikawa, honors the “looking-back Kobo Daishi,” one of the three figures of Kobo Daishi.
On the 21st day of each month in the lunar calendar, the anniversary of the death of Kobo, more than 300 shops appear along the approach to please many visitors of ordinary men and women from Aichi and other regions.
The temple at the second stop is Saifukuji Temple in Hitotsugi-cho in Kariya, and the temple at the third stop is Mitsuzoin Temple in Ichiriyama-cho in Kariya.
