*''Established: [[1376]]''
*''Japanese'': 禅源寺 ''(Zengen-ji)''
Zengen-ji is a [[Rinzai]] [[Zen]] temple of the Myôshin-ji sect, located in Inazawa, [[Aichi prefecture]]. Also known as Kinkazan, it was founded in [[1376]].
The temple lay along the route traveled by [[Ryukyuan embassies to Edo]] during the [[Edo period]], and possesses a still-extant work of calligraphy composed in [[1718]] by Ryukyuan vice-ambassador (''fukushi'') Shô Wasei / Nishihira ''[[ueekata]]'' Chôjo and gifted by Chôjo to the temple.
The grounds also contain the grave of Yamauchi Kakubee, a samurai from [[Satsuma han]] who died on [[1832]]/11/3 while serving as a member of the retinue escorting that year's Ryukyuan embassy.
