[[File:Zotokuin.jpg|right|thumb|320px|Zôtoku-in's Main Hall (''hondô'') in the snow]]
*''Japanese'': 増徳院 ''(Zoutoku-in)''
Zôtoku-in is a [[Koya-san|Kôya-san]] [[Shingon]] Buddhist temple in the Heiraku neighborhood of [[Yokohama]]; originally located in the [[Motomachi]] neighborhood and directly associated with the [[Yokohama Foreign Cemetery]], it was moved to Heiraku, up on the Bluff, after the 1923 Great Kantô Earthquake.
The chief objects of worship are [[Kobo Daishi|Kôbô Daishi]] and [[Fudo Myoo|Fudô Myôô]].
The temple's Yakushi Hall, most recently rebuilt in 1972, remains in Motomachi. It is said to date, originally, to the 9th century, though there is no surviving documentation of this.
The temple's 20th century stone and metal main gate was replaced in 2008 with a new wooden gate in the traditional style.
