Shōfuku-ji (聖福寺) is a Buddhist temple located in the Gokushōmachi neighborhood of Hakata, Fukuoka, Japan.

[1] According to the "Eisai Genjo"(栄西言上状) handed down at the temple, in 1195, after Eisai, the founder of Japan's Rinzai school, returned from Sung China, he was given eight chō (approximately 900 meters square) by Minamoto no Yoritomo to construct a temple was built on the site of Hyaku-do, a chapel which had been built by Chinese expatriates living in Hakata.

Within the temple grounds, a market town (called "Kannai") was formed, and many place names of modern Hakata still reflect buildings of features of that settlement: Fugendo, Nakakoji, Uomachi, Amaya, Hasuike, and Nishimon.

In addition, this was also the location of Chinzei Bugyō, the shogunate's official representative for Kyushu, and served as a point of contact for diplomatic negotiations, producing bilingual monks.

In 1587, the precincts were considerably reduced due to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's reconstruction of Hakata, but the daimyo Kobayakawa Takakage donated additional land, and under his protection many structures were rebuilt.
