Ganjōju-in (願成就院) is a Buddhist temple of the Kōyasan Shingon-shū sect in Izunokuni, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Founded in 1189 by Hōjō Tokimasa, it enshrines one of the few remaining works of the Kamakura period sculptor Unkei: wooden images of Amida Nyorai, Bishamonten, Fudō Myōō and two attendants. Based on inscriptions found inside the sculptures, this group has been dated to 1186. Since June 19, 2013 it has been designated a National Treasure by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The temple grounds have been designated as Historic Site of Japan on February 14, 1973.
