[[Korean embassies to Edo|Korean emissaries]] stayed at Daitoku-ji four times in the [[Edo period|early modern period]]. The first was in [[1590]]. At that time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was planning his [[Korean Invasions|invasions]], and demanded [[tribute]] from the [[Joseon Dynasty|Korean court]]. Instead, [[Tsushima han|Tsushima]] suggested that [[Korea]] send a mission under the guise of a congratulatory mission for Hideyoshi's having united Japan. The Koreans intended to use the mission to also investigate further Hideyoshi's intentions. That year, on the 21st day of the 7th month, roughly 300 people came and stayed at Daitoku-ji, where they met with scholar [[Fujiwara Seika]], among others.<ref>Doyoung Park, "A New Perspective on hte Korean Embassy (Chôsen Tsûshinshi): The View from the Intellectuals in Tokugawa Japan," ''Studies in Asia'' Series IV, 3:1 (2013), 13.</ref> This embassy did not forestall the invasions.

In [[1607]], the first mission to come to Japan since the end of the invasions, numbering around 500 people, stayed at Daitoku-ji along with representatives from Tsushima. This came after several exchanges of letters between [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] and the Korean Court, and came to Japan to negotiate for the return of captives taken during the war. They were warmly welcomed by the ''[[Kyoto shoshidai]]'', who arranged for monkey trainers to put on shows, and for games of ''[[kemari]]''. Missions also stayed at Daitoku-ji in [[1617]] and [[1624]], visiting captives and arranging for their return.

From [[1636]] onwards, Korean embassies were provided lodgings at [[Honkoku-ji]] instead, as part of efforts by the [[Tokugawa shogunate]] to distance the embassies from interactions with the imperial court.<ref>Kido Hironari 木戸博成, "Go-Mizunoo jôkô, Meishô tennô no mae de sôgaku shita Ryûkyû jin" 後水尾上皇・明正天皇の前で奏楽した琉球人, ''Okinawa bunka kenkyû'' 44 (2017), 174.</ref>
