Shōjōkō-ji (清浄光寺) is a temple located in Fujisawa, Kanagawa, and serves as the headquarters of the Ji-shu branch of Pure Land Buddhism, related to Ippen. The formal name of the temple is Tōtaku-san Muryōkō-in Shōjōkō-ji. As the head priest of the temple, Tōtaku Shōnin, also bears the inherited title Yugyō Shōnin (遊行上人), the temple has become familiarly known as Yugyō-ji (遊行寺) in recent years. The temple is also sometimes referred to as Fujisawa-dōjō.
