At the time of the opening of the port, this Honkaku-ji Temple was dedicated to the American Consulate. It is said that Door, who was a consul of Kanagawa, wiped off the pine branches in the garden and raised a star flag on this tree. It is said that he covered the temple's main deity with a board circumference, painted the mountain gate with white paint, and prohibited ordinary people from entering.
