Sookoji 宗興寺 Soko-Ji, Kogaya
開塔山 日輪院 Nichirin-In 宗興寺 Sokoji
神奈川県横浜市神奈川区幸ヶ谷10-6 / Kanagawa, Yokohama city, Kanagawa ward, Kogaya
The Kannon statue is 聖観世音菩薩 Sho Kannon.
There is a Kannon statue in the garden:
The temple was founded around 1440, when a Priest from Temple 神奈川宿開塔山宗興寺 built 八丈島宗福寺 the Temple Sofukuji in Hachijojima Island.
It was founded by 随翁永順 Priest Zuio, who died in 1612.
When it was moved to Yokohama, Mister Hepburn (1815 - 1911) translated the name to alphabet letters and probably made a mistake there.

When you go down the slope beside Kogaya Elementary School from Kogaya Park, you will come to Sokoji Temple, which is located at the foot of Mt. Gongen in Kanagawa Station Nakazukai.
At the time of the opening of the port, an American missionary and doctor, Dr. Hepburn, was opening a treatment center here. A monument is set up on the grounds to commemorate this.
Dr. Hepburn was well-known for his "Hepburn Roman" and completed the first Japanese-English dictionary in Japan and translated the Bible.
Later, he founded Meiji Gakuin and was dedicated to education in Japan.

James Curtis Hepburn (1815 - 1911)
an American physician, translator, educator, and lay Christian missionary.
He is known for the Hepburn romanization system for transliteration of the Japanese language into the Latin alphabet, which he popularized in his Japanese–English dictionary.
- Missionary work in Japan
In 1859, Hepburn went to Japan as a medical missionary with the American Presbyterian Mission.
After first arriving in Nagasaki in October 1859, Hepburn swiftly relocated to the newly opened treaty port of Yokohama, opening his first clinic in April 1861 at the Sokoji Temple.
Initially residing at Jobutsuji in Kanagawa, a dilapidated temple formerly occupied by the Dutch consulate, Hepburn was the first Christian missionary to take up residence close to the newly opened treaty port.
Hepburn's family shared accommodation at Jobutsuji with Dutch Reformed minister Rev. Samuel Robbins Brown and all were quickly absorbed into the local foreign community, Hepburn being appointed honorary physician to the US Consul, Townsend Harris.
Hepburn's first clinic failed as the Bakumatsu authorities, wanting the missionaries to relocate to Yokohama, put pressure on patients to stop going to it.
In the spring of 1862 Hepburn and his family relocated to the house and compound at Kyoryuchi No. 39, in the heart of the foreigners residential district in the treaty port of Yokohama.
There, in addition to his clinic, he and his wife Clara founded the Hepburn School, which eventually developed into Meiji Gakuin University.
Hepburn's Japanese pupils included Furuya Sakuzaemon, Takahashi Korekiyo, and Numa Morikazu (沼間守一).
For his medical contributions to the city of Yokohama, Hepburn Hall was named in his honor on the campus of Yokohama City University School of Medicine.
In May 1867, with the collaboration of his long-time assistant Kishida Ginkō, Hepburn published a Japanese–English dictionary which rapidly became the standard reference work for prospective students of Japanese. In the dictionary's third edition, published in 1886, Hepburn adopted a new system for romanization of the Japanese language developed by the Society for the Romanization of the Japanese Alphabet (Rōmajikai). This system is widely known as the Hepburn romanization because Hepburn's dictionary popularized it.
Hepburn also contributed to the translation of the Bible into Japanese.
