Shunrin-in is located at the foot of a hill, to the southeast of the Arima graveyard, and to the northeast of Bairin-in Tamaya.

Shunrin-in Tamaya is a mausoleum dedicated to the first feudal lord, Toyo-uji.  It is believed to have been built when he was buried with his Buddhist name, Shunrin-in. Characters carved on the stone lantern in front of the tamaya tell us that this was September 30, 1643.

This tamaya is characterized by its pyramidal roof style, known as   hogyo-zukuri, with its hongawarabuki tile design, combining flat and round tiles, as well as its granite ashlar flagstone foundation.

Inside Shurin-in, there are gorin. These are stupas, dedicated to Toyo-uji, his wife (Buddhist name Choju-in), the second feudal lord Tadayori (Buddhist name Keirin-in) and the fifth feudal lord, Yorimune.

Toyo-uji’s stupa is the biggest among these. It can be found furthest to the right when facing the stupas from the front.

The process leading up to the construction is described on the daiza (Buddhist pedestal).
