Prince Tomigusuku was buried in Kagoshima, either at the [[Shimazu clan]] temple of [[Fukusho-ji|Fukushô-ji]], or at the Ryûkyû-associated temple [[Komyo-ji (Kagoshima)|Kômyô-ji]].<ref>A letter from Prince Tomigusuku's son [[Tomigusuku Choson|Tomigusuku ''aji'' Chôson]]<!--豊見城按司朝尊--> to Fukushô-ji, thanking the monks for their attention to his father's memory, would seem to suggest it was Fukushô-ji. However, Watanabe Miki has suggested he was buried at Kômyô-ji.
