[[File:Dairyuji.jpg|right|thumb|320px|Plaques and stelae at the former site of Dairyû-ji]]
*''Japanese'': 瑞雲山大龍寺 ''(Zuiunzan Dairyuuji)''
Zuiunzan Dairyû-ji was a [[Rinzai]] [[Zen]] Buddhist temple in [[Kagoshima]].
It was founded on the former site of a castle built by [[Shimazu Takahisa]] following his victory over [[Shimazu Sanehisa]] for dominance of the [[Shimazu clan]]. A lively center of political and cultural activity for around fifty years, the castle fell into disuse after [[Shimazu Iehisa]] built [[Tsurumaru castle]]. The site was then converted to a temple, which was named Zuiunzan Dairyû-ji, using the characters ''dai'' and ''ryû'' from the [[art-name]]s of Takahisa and his son [[Shimazu Yoshihisa]]. [[Nanpo Bunshi]] was invited to be the first abbot of the temple.
Following the destruction of the temple, the site is today Dairyû Elementary School.
