Tofukuji
横浜市西区赤門町２丁目１７
A Buddhist temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect located in Nishi Ward, Yokohama City, known as Komyozan Henjo-in. It is famous for its vermilion-painted mountain gate, the 'Red Gate' (Akamon), which has also become the name of the surrounding neighborhood.
History
It is said to have been founded by Genshin (Genshin) during the Kannon era (1243–1247 CE). It was revived by Ota Dokan during the Bunmei era and relocated to its current site in 1607 CE (Keicho 12). In 1591 CE (Tensho 19), Tokugawa Ieyasu granted the temple its land holdings and permission to use the hollyhock (aoi) crest.

A serene temple distinguished by its striking vermilion-painted gate. The grounds feature a Jizendo (Jizo Hall) with a mechanism that produces a beautiful chime when coins are offered. In spring, yellow mimosa flowers bloom, and Goshuin (shrine or temple calligraphic seals) are sometimes provided as pre-written copies.
