It was newly built, and in 1886, it was rebuilt as a temple with a small amount of funds, with the donation of the congregation Gorobei Inoue's retreat. After the transition to Ogino Dokuon, in April 1899, a "retirement tower" was built by volunteers who attended the school. The inscription is by Tomioka Tessai. In addition, the forehead of Tetsusai on the front door, which says "Good neighbor," conveys the heart of the Zen master, who was told that all people are equal. The work of Kazuhisa Ogino, "Shokokuji Joten", and the remnants (deposited at the Shokokuji Museum of Art) have been handed down. The gate of Hokoji Temple is the Heikaramon, which dates back to the Momoyama period or the early Edo period. The pillars extend to the crotch on the side, which conveys an old tradition from the Heian period.
