Fukugon-ji (福厳寺) is an Ōbaku Zen temple in Yanagawa, Fukuoka, Japan. Its honorary sangō prefix is Baigakuzan (梅岳山).

History[]

The temple was originally located in Shingū and called Tachibanazan Baigaku-ji (立花山梅岳寺), a Sōtō temple. In 1587, however, Tachibana Muneshige who was granted the three districts of Chikugo Province, Yamato, and Mizuma and built a castle in Yanagawa, started to move to the present location.[1]

It was originally a Sōtō temple, but in 1669, , the third lord of Yanagawa Domain, has been converted to the Ōbaku school temple. Tadashige invited , the elder son of Mu'an and changed the name to Fukugon-ji. It later became the Tachibana clan's funeral temple and all nine of the Tachibana families are buried here.

There is a cemetery in the back of the main hall, and the graves of some famous novelists such as , Kazuo Dan etc.[2][3]
