*''Japanese'': 浄光明寺 ''(joukoumyou ji)''
Jôkômyô-ji is a Buddhist temple in [[Kagoshima]], a branch temple of Tôtaku-zan [[Jokomyo-ji|Jôkômyô-ji]] in [[Kamakura]].
When [[Shimazu Tadahisa]] was named ''[[shugo]]'' of [[Satsuma province|Satsuma]], [[Osumi province|Ôsumi]], and [[Hyuga province|Hyûga provinces]] in [[1187]], he had the monk [[Giasessei|Giasessei shônin]]<ref>Second son of [[Hiki Yoshikazu]] and nephew of Tadahisa's mother [[Tanba no tsubone]].</ref><!--宜阿説誠--> establish this temple.
[[Shimazu Yoshitaka]] was later buried here, before his grave was eventually relocated to [[Fukusho-ji|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 [[Saigo Takamori|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 [[Nanshu Cemetery|Nanshû Cemetery]], which continues to be maintained today. Jôkômyô-ji was re-established at some point, and stands just outside the cemetery.
