Honryû-ji was a Buddhist temple in Kagoshima where the first five heads of the Shimazu clan were buried. Today, only a small portion of the temple grounds (including the Shimazu graves) survives.
A branch temple of the Ji sect temple Jôkômyô-ji, it was originally known as Godô-in, a reference to the five lords buried there.[1] Graves for these five lords can also be found at Kannô-ji, a temple in Izumi City, Kagoshima prefecture. The Godô-in temple was renamed Honryû-ji during the time of the 19th clan head, Shimazu Mitsuhisa, and was expanded under the 18th (Shimazu Iehisa), 20th (Shimazu Tsunataka), and 21st (Shimazu Yoshitaka).
