A tea room at Kohō-an, a sub-temple of Daitoku-ji, designated an Important Cultural Property in 1903 together with the main hall and shoin.
According to the Agency for Cultural Affairs, Bōsen dates from the late Edo period (1751–1829): four bays by three, single-storey, gabled, with a pantile roof.
Kohō-an is generally closed to the public, and no public viewing of Bōsen is offered.
