Rinsenji Temple
米沢市林泉寺１丁目２−３
A Soto Zen Buddhist temple located in Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture, known as the memorial temple for the Yonezawa Domain's Uesugi clan and the retainer Naoe Kanetsugu.
History
Founded in 1496 based on Rinsenji Temple in Echigo Province, it was relocated and established in Yonezawa in 1617. It serves as the memorial temple for the Uesugi clan of the Yonezawa Domain and for the senior retainer Naoe Kanetsugu. In 1711, Kasuga Shrine was moved inside the temple grounds, and a Myojindo (Shinto hall) was constructed. Today, its garden is counted as one of the 'Three Famous Gardens of Yonezawa.'
