Nansen-in was a Tendai Buddhist temple in Kagoshima, a branch temple of Kan'ei-ji, established in 1710 by Shimazu Yoshitaka. The temple served as the fure-gashira for Satsuma, Ôsumi, and Hyûga provinces, communicating messages from Enryaku-ji or Kan'ei-ji to all other Tendai temples in that region.
The spirits of the first five Tokugawa shoguns were enshrined there, in a Tôshôgû shrine established at the same time. The temple & shrine were regularly visited by Ryukyuan officials visiting or temporarily resident in Kagoshima.
In 1862, the spirit of Shimazu Nariakira was enshrined there as well, being relocated two years later to the then newly-completed Terukuni Shrine.
