Shōkaku-ji (正覚寺) is a Rinzai temple in Jōnan-ku, Fukuoka, Japan. Its honorary sangō prefix is Higashiaburayama (東油山). It is also known as Aburayama Kannon (油山観音). Shōkaku-ji was founded during the Nara period by Seiga, a priest who came from India. He established a Buddhist hermitage and discovered white camellias on the mountain. He harvested them and created a pair of Bodhisattva Kannon statues, enshrining one in this temple. It is believed that the first process of extracting kerosene in Japan was by squeezing oil from camellia seeds. Both the name of Mount Abura and the temple have origins related to this process. Originally, it was named Senpuku-ji (泉福寺). In 1193, Bencho, a priest of the Chinzei branch of Jōdo-shū Buddhism, entered the temple and taught his disciples there. Along with the Tenpuku-ji Temple on the mountain's west side, Shōkaku-ji became a flourishing center for monks, with up to 360 priest living quarters surrounding the temple. However, during the Tenshō era, the temple was destroyed by a fire resulting from war. It was later rebuilt during the Genroku era, with the construction of various buildings such as the kannon-dō hall, the reception hall, a bell tower, living quarters, and others. In 1694, the temple was renamed Shōkaku-ji. The wooden Avalokiteśvara statue, enshrined in the main hall, has been an object of significant religious reverence. It was designated a Cultural Property of Japan by the government in 1906. On October 4, 2009, a theft of the Buddha statue occurred. The thief entered the temple and stole the statue from the main hall. However, the statue was recovered in December of the same year. Shoe marks left behind indicated that multiple criminals were involved, and it is believed they broke into the main hall by cutting the padlock.The Hibari Kannon-dō hall, built in 1994, was dedicated to Hibari Misora, a Japanese singer who passed away on June 24, 1989. The Aburayama porridge opening ceremony is held every year on February 1. Based on the state of the red bean porridge left in the main hall for 15 days from the Lunar New Year, this event predicts the weather and crop conditions for the upcoming year.

Jōnan-ku (城南区) is one of the seven wards of Fukuoka City, Japan. As of November 1, 2004, it had a population of 128,057 people, making up 9.2% of Fukuoka City, with an area of 16.02 km2. At the time of Fukuoka City's official designation as a City in 1972, the area now known as Jōnan-ku was part of the larger ward of Nishi-ku. On May 1, 1982, Nishi-ku was subdivided into the three smaller wards of Nishi-ku, Sawara-ku and Jōnan-ku. Located southwest of the downtown area of Tenjin, Jōnan-ku is a primarily residential area. Despite its proximity to downtown Fukuoka, Jōnan-ku has suffered from a lack of transport infrastructure, leading to congested roads and difficult access to the rest of the city. The Nanakuma Line of the Fukuoka Subway opened in 2005, improving traffic flow in the area. Like most of Fukuoka City, the construction in Jōnan-ku is relatively recent, as the area consisted mostly of fields after World War 2, lacking even paved roads. The result has been a crowded jumble of roads, houses, apartment buildings and businesses, with no real centre to the ward. A few large parks help to create a peaceful atmosphere. Jōnan-ku is home to Fukuoka University, whose students are everpresent during the school year and help support a growing number of local convenience stores. The St Sulpice Great Seminary of Fukuoka is another notable landmark, having been built in the 1950s and serving to train Japanese Catholic priests from Kyūshū. Historical sites include Kikuchi Shrine and Yūsentei Park.
