hall
 The multipurpose hall (181.5 m2) on the first floor of the kori is used for funerals and dinner ceremonies.
charnel house

It was attached to the Kori, which was newly built in 1987. In Hokkaido, where it snows a lot, it is not possible to visit graves during the winter, so many parishioners have their ashes buried in the ossuary, making it possible to visit all year round.
 All ossuaries are equipped with one Buddhist and two Buddhist ancestral scrolls, a pair of candlesticks, an incense burner, a pair of flower vases and phosphorus, but the number of remains that can be stored in an ossuary depends on the type of ossuary.
 The number of remains varies according to the type of ossuary. The ossuary is managed and cleaned by Tokugenji, and is recommended for those who live far away from the ossuary or for those who find it difficult to manage the ossuary. Parishioners wishing to use the ossuary should contact us.
