Three large stone monuments can be found in the far corners of the grounds, and raised on slight elevations. One dedicated to Confucius stands to the right of the main worship hall, above the Meirindô, while two dedicated respectively to Tei Junsoku and to Ryukyuan royal advisor & regent [[Sai On]] stand to the left.

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, along with stone markers for the temple, and for the Meirindô school.

Meanwhile, a second reconstruction of the original temple opened in 2013 elsewhere in Kume, just behind the Fukushûen, adjacent to Matsuyama Park. This second temple features largely the same layout, with a very similar main gate, main hall, and Meirindô, albeit without the smaller shrines to the left, or the stone monuments.
