History

Kenkoji, formally known as Tokuozan Zuiunin Kenko Zenji, is a Soto Zen temple located in Tsurumi, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. Founded in 1560 by Suwa Mikawa no Kami Umanoske as patron and the monk Daishu Chogo as founding abbot, the temple has long served as a place of Zen practice and discipline. The name "Kenko" reflects the spirit of dedication inherent to its founding. The verdant grounds, rich with seasonal greenery, offer visitors a tranquil space for quiet reflection away from the noise of everyday life.
