The name of the five great temples of the Rinzai sect located in Kyoto. In 1334, Emperor Go-Daigo changed the Kamakura Five Mountains to Kyoto and ranked them with Nanzen-ji at the top. After various changes, in 1386, the five temples of Tenryu-ji, Shokoku-ji, Kennin-ji, Tofuku-ji, and Manju-ji were decided, with Nanzen-ji as the chief temple and Daitoku-ji as the second.
