Keishun-in Temple is a sub-temple of Myoshinji Temple.
Keishun-in Temple was founded in 1598 by Hidenori Tsuda, the second son of Nobutada Oda, the eldest son of Nobunaga Oda, as Gisei-in Temple. The sliding door paintings in the hojo are by Kano Sansetsu. The tea ceremony room, Kihakuan, used to be in the Nagahama Castle along with the shoin (drawing room).
Keishun-in is one of the few sub-temples of Myoshin-ji that is always open to the public, along with Taizo-in. However, the tearoom is not open to the public except for special events.

The garden is designated as a national historic site of scenic beauty. It has four different types of gardens: “Wabi,” “Seijo,” “Shii,” and “Shinnyo”.
