*''Founded: [[1710]], [[Shimazu Yoshitaka]]''
*''Japanese'': 大雄山仏日寺南泉院 ''(Daio-zan butsunichi-ji Nansen-in)''
Nansen-in was a [[Tendai]] Buddhist temple in [[Kagoshima]], a branch temple of [[Enryaku-ji]], established in [[1710]] by [[Shimazu Yoshitaka]]. The temple served as the ''fure-gashira'' for [[Satsuma province|Satsuma]], [[Osumi province|Ôsumi]], and [[Hyuga province|Hyûga provinces]], communicating messages from Enryaku-ji to all other Tendai temples in that region.
The spirits of the first five [[Tokugawa shogunate|Tokugawa shoguns]] were enshrined there. In [[1862]], the spirit of [[Shimazu Nariakira]] was enshrined there as well, being relocated two years later to the then newly-completed [[Terukuni Shrine]].
