*''Japanese'': 大乗院 ''(Daijou in)''

Daijô-in was a Buddhist temple in [[Kagoshima]] patronized by the [[Shimazu clan]].

The temple was originally established in Ijûin, but was later moved to Shimizu-chô by [[Shimazu Takahisa]], where it became the chief [[Shingon]] temple in [[Satsuma han]].

The temple was dissolved in accordance with the ''[[haibutsu kishaku]]'' policies of the first years of the [[Meiji period]], along with most other Buddhist temples in Satsuma. Today, the gravestone of one of the temple's abbots can still be seen outside the gates of Shimizu Middle School in Kagoshima.
