An'yō-in, Buddhist temple in Kobe, Japan

An'yō-in is a Tendai branch temple (tatchū) of Taisan-ji in Nishi-ku, Kobe. Its dry-landscape garden, completed in the Azuchi–Momoyama period, is a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty. The garden is a pondless karesansui using bold rock arrangements to express the Penglai immortals theme, with a borrowed view of Mount Sanshin. The shoin hall was assembled from two thatched-roof farmhouses built in the 1730s in Kobe's Kita-ku.

An'yō-in is a tatchū, a branch temple of the Tendai sect, within the grounds of Taisan-ji, a temple founded in the Nara period in what is now Nishi-ku, Kobe. Its karesansui garden was completed in the Azuchi–Momoyama period, and on 19 February 1980 it was designated a national Place of Scenic Beauty. The shoin standing before the garden was built in the 1730s.

An'yō-in is a tatchū, a branch temple of the Tendai sect within the Taisan-ji complex, and its garden was laid out in the Azuchi–Momoyama period as a dry-landscape garden of the karesansui type. Instead of raked sand it uses a pondless arrangement of bold rock groups to express the Daoist idea of Mount Penglai, the isle of immortals. Visitors can look for the Crane Rock Group, the Turtle Rock Group and the Buddha's Hand stone basin, carved with a hand shape so water flows between the fingers.

An'yō-in lies along the approach from the Niō Gate to the inner gate of Taisan-ji, about five minutes on foot from the Taisan-ji bus stop. The garden and shoin open to the public only in three periods: 1–3 January, 26 April–5 May and 1–30 November. Visitors may be served wagashi and matcha for a fee.

The garden is a dry-landscape pond style (kare-sansui) rather than the raked-sand type: a dry pond basin crossed by stone bridges, with rock arrangements named after the crane, the turtle and the island of the immortals, and a backdrop of the three-peaked Mount Sanshin. Near the entrance stands a stone water basin carved with a hand shape; water poured into the palm runs out between the index and middle fingers and drains behind the rock.
