Gravestones and surrounding stone lanterns at Fukushô-ji
  • Established: 1394, Sekioku Shinryô
  • Other Names: 玉龍山 (Gyokuryuuzan)
  • Japanese: 福昌寺 (Fukushou-ji)

Fukushô-ji was a Sôtô Zen temple in Kagoshima, which served as the family temple (bodaiji) for the Shimazu clan. Though the temple is no longer in operation, the Shimazu clan cemetery which houses the graves of numerous generations of clan heads continues to be maintained on the site. Gyokuryû Middle School & High School now stands on the former site of the Fukushô-ji temple buildings.

The temple was established in 1394 when Shimazu Motohisa invited the Zen priest Sekioku Shinryô to Kagoshima to establish a bodaiji for the Shimazu clan.

Fukushô-ji was abolished in the early Meiji period, as part of the haibutsu kishaku anti-Buddhist campaigns of that time.
