Entoku-in is a Buddhist temple in Kyoto founded on the former grounds of a residence of Kitanomandokoro Nene. Nene and her husband Toyotomi Hideyoshi are buried at the nearby Kôdai-ji, founded by her in his memory on the occasion of his death.
Nene lived on the grounds for some nineteen years, entertaining many elite guests in a lavish mansion which included dressing rooms and gardens moved there from Kôdai-ji in 1605. In 1633, nine years after her death in 1624, her nephew Kinoshita Toshifusa had the site transformed into the Kinoshita family temple, under the name Entoku-in.
