*''Established: [[1394]], [[Sekioku Shinryo|Sekioku Shinryô]]''
*''Other Names'': 玉龍山 ''(Gyokuryuuzan)''
*''Japanese'': 福昌寺 ''(Fukushou-ji)''
Fukushô-ji was a [[Soto Zen|Sôtô Zen]] temple in [[Kagoshima]], which served as the family temple (''[[bodaiji]]'') for the [[Shimazu clan]]. Though the temple is no longer in operation, the Shimazu clan cemetery which houses the graves of numerous generations of clan heads remains on the site.
The temple was established in [[1394]] when [[Shimazu Motohisa]] invited the [[Zen]] priest [[Sekioku Shinryo|Sekioku Shinryô]] to Kagoshima to establish a ''bodaiji'' for the Shimazu clan.
Fukushô-ji was abolished in the early [[Meiji period]], as part of the ''[[haibutsu kishaku]]'' anti-Buddhist campaigns of that time.
