Gansen-ji (Japanese: 岩船寺) is a Japanese Buddhist temple of the Shingon Risshu sect in the city of Kizugawa in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan.

The temple is known for its hydrangea gardens, and is the fifteenth of the twenty-five Kansai flower temples,[1] a multi-sect association of twenty-five Japanese Buddhist temples in the Kansai region that are known for their flower and foliage displays.[2]

The temple is part of the Tono Magaibubu Cultural Property Environmental Conservation Area[3] and is part of two Japanese Buddhist pilgrimages. The temple is fourth of the eighteen ancient Shingon temples[4] and is the 129th of the Kansai region's 152 shrines of the Shinbutsu Pilgrimage.[5]
