"First US Consul's Digs"
Sadly all that remains of this historically well-known temple which was important during treaty port days is the main gate. All the buildings in the complex were destroyed by bombs during the Pacific War. Soon after the port of Yokohama was officially opened in June 1859 the first US Consul, Townsend Harris [1804-1878] relocated to Hongaku-ji from Gyokusen-ji Temple in Shimoda because Kanagawa was the term used in the treaty. He never established a presence in the village of Yokohama.
