Kōrin-in is one of the sub-temples of Daitoku-ji Temple, a Rinzai Zen temple located in Kita-ku, Kyoto.
It was founded approximately 500 years ago by Hatakeyama Yoshisō,
the governor of Noto (present-day Ishikawa Prefecture),
and its name, Kōrin-in, was derived from his posthumous Buddhist name.
It features a magnificent Momoyama-style stone garden restored by Nakane Kinsaku,
a landscape architect sometimes called the “Showa-era Kobori Enshū,” as well as the tea house “Kankyo-tei.”
Special viewings are available from September 5th to 27th and from October 3rd to December 15th, 2026.
