The '''Gansenji Temple''' was a [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] temple located south of [[Sakai]] in [[Izumi Settsu]], [[Japan]].

==History==
In 1580s, the temple served as a hideout for a faction of the [[Ikkō-ikki]] led by [[Kyonyo]]. There, Kyonyo led an effort to continue his resistance against [[Oda Nobunaga]], for which he was disowned by his father [[Kennyo]]. In 1582, when one of Nobunaga's [[samurai]] [[Wada Koretake]] led an attack on the temple, Kyonyo sent word throughout Settsu for assistance, which was indirectly answered by the [[Iga]] [[Ninja|kunoichi]] [[Fujibayashi Naoe]].<ref name="The Fatherless Monk">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]'' – [[The Fatherless Monk]]</ref>

Naoe arrived at the temple, finding it ransacked due to battle and assisted the ''{{Wiki|sohei}}'' against Koretake's men. After dispatching the attacks, Naoe met with Kyonyo and explained her purpose for seeking him out. After being joined by [[Yaya]], one of Kyonyo's associates from Honganji, Naoe was directed to recruit an ally named Mitsumune as well as to locate Koretake's Chief Executioner in hopes of tracking down Koretake's whereabouts.<ref name="The Fatherless Monk" />

Naoe would return to the temple at some point and made prayers at the shrines within the complex.<ref name="ACSH">''[[Assassin's Creed: Shadows]]''</ref>
