context_page_description: Bairin-ji is a Rinzai temple in Kurume, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. Its honorary sangō prefix is Kōnanzan. It is known as a representative training dojo temple of the Myōshin-ji school in Kyushu which faces the clear stream of the Chikugo River.
context_section_description: The temple was originally located in Fukuchiyama and called Zuigan-ji (瑞巌寺). In 1620, however, Arima Toyōji (有馬豊氏) who was transferred from Fukuchiyama Domain (福知山藩) in the Tanba Province to Kurume Domain, started to move to the present location in the following year. Later it was renamed to Bairin-ji which is associated with his father Noriyori's posthumous name, Bairin'in-den (梅林院殿) and became a mausoleum of the successive Kurume Domain. There remains a grave of the Arima clan, including Toyōji.
