*''Established: [[1608]]''
*''Japanese'': 芳春院 ''(Houshun-in)''
Hôshun-in is a [[tatchu|sub-temple]] of [[Daitoku-ji]] founded in [[1608]] by [[Maeda Matsu|Matsu]], the wife of [[Maeda Toshiie]], to serve as a family temple for the [[Maeda clan|Maeda]]. She then came to be known as Hôshun-in herself.
Many members of the Maeda clan are buried at Hôshun-in. A landscape garden behind the main hall of Hôshun-in contains a two-story structure called the Donkokaku which is said to evoke the gardens of [[Ginkaku-ji]] and [[Kinkaku-ji]]. The garden was designed by [[Kobori Enshu|Kobori Enshû]] in [[1617]], at the request of [[Maeda Toshinaga]].
The temple burned down at some point in the [[Edo period]], and the current structure dates to [[1868]]-[[1869]].
