Jôkômyô-ji is a Buddhist temple in Kagoshima, a branch temple of Tôtaku-zan Jôkômyô-ji in Kamakura.
When Shimazu Tadahisa was named shugo of Satsuma, Ôsumi, and Hyûga provinces in 1187, he had the monk Giasessei shônin[1] establish this temple.
Shimazu Yoshitaka was later buried here, before his grave was eventually relocated to Fukushô-ji.
The temple was destroyed in the 1863 bombardment of Kagoshima by the British Royal Navy, and was abolished amid the haibutsu kishaku anti-Buddhism policies of the first years of the Meiji period. In 1877, Iwamura Michitoshi saw to it that Saigô Takamori and a number of his men killed in the Satsuma Rebellion were buried at the former site of the temple, thus establishing the Nanshû Cemetery, which continues to be maintained today. Jôkômyô-ji was re-established at some point, and stands just outside the cemetery.
