Shōfuku-ji, temple in Nagaoka, Niigata

Shōfuku-ji is a Sōtō Zen temple in Nagaoka, Niigata Prefecture. Its precinct includes a main hall, the graves of Udone Danjirō and Myōtoku-in, and the Suwa Shrine (known locally as Suwa-dō), which was moved here when Nagaoka Middle School expanded its grounds.

Shōfuku-ji is a Sōtō Zen temple in Nagaoka. During the Boshin War its halls were used as a treatment station for the domain's wounded. In 1869 (Meiji 2) Kobayashi Torasaburō borrowed the main hall to open the Kokkan School. A mound on the grounds buries victims of the 1945 Nagaoka air raid, and a memorial service is held there every 1 August.

The temple's name, Shōfuku-ji, is written 昌福寺. Its grounds hold a small Suwa Shrine (locally called Suwa-dō), moved here when Nagaoka Middle School expanded, because generations of head priests served it. The temple also keeps the grave of Myōtoku-in, daughter of the lord of Sugiyoshi Castle, who served Tokugawa Hidetada.

Shōfuku-ji is about five minutes on foot from the east exit of JR Nagaoka Station. The temple lies in a built-up part of Nagaoka, and the graves and the war memorial stand within the grounds, so visitors move between the main hall and the cemetery area. The temple is an active Soto Zen site, and the annual memorial ceremony on 1 August draws worshippers.

The temple grounds hold the graves of Udone Danjirō, a local historical figure, and Myōtoku-in, daughter of a feudal lord from the Edo period. A memorial also marks the site's connection to World War II, commemorating victims of the firebombing of Nagaoka in August 1945.
