Shōjōkō-ji (清浄光寺) is a Buddhist temple located in the city of Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is the headquarters of the Ji-shu branch of Pure Land Buddhism, founded in the Kamakura period by Ippen. The formal name of the temple is Tōtaku-san Muryōkō-in Shōjōkō-ji (藤沢山 無量光院 清浄光寺), and its honzon is a statue of Amida Nyorai. 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) since the Edo period. The temple is also sometimes referred to as Fujisawa-dōjō.
