A Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple of the Kenninji branch located in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto, and a sub-temple (tato) of Kōdai-ji. It houses a three-faced Daikokuten (Great Black Heaven) statue, traditionally believed to be the personal devotional object of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, as well as Important Cultural Property fusuma (sliding door) paintings.

History

Established to pray for the soul of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, it served as the late-life residence of his legal wife, Kitano Ba (Kōdai-in). In 1632 CE (Kan'ei 9), it was renamed Endoin as a sub-temple of Kōdai-ji by Kinoshita Toshihisa, and subsequently became the family temple of the Kinoshita clan.
