The temple was rebuilt following its destruction in World War II, and is today located immediately next to the Buddhist temple [[Gokoku-ji (Okinawa)|Gokoku-ji]] and [[Naminoue Shrine]], facing Kume Ôdôri (Kume Avenue), a short distance from Naminoue Beach. A bronze statue of [[Confucius]] stands at the temple's former location,<ref>Somewhere along what is today National Highway 58, in the Kume neighborhood of Naha.</ref> along with stone markers for the temple, and for the Meirindô school.
