Hōkoku-ji Temple, Buddhist temple in Tokushima, Japan.

Hōkoku-ji is a Shingon temple of the Daikaku-ji school at the foot of Mount Bizan in Minamishō-machi, Tokushima. Its main hall stands on a stone base beneath a wide, layered roof of dark timber with deep eaves and carved brackets; a dark blue and white curtain with two white crests hangs at the entrance, and five vertical banners in purple, white, red, yellow and green hang from the eaves. A metal railing runs along the raised wooden veranda, and a stone statue stands at the lower right among mossy rocks and flowers.

According to the Awa-shi, Hōkoku-ji was founded by Hosokawa Yoriharu, a warrior of the late Kamakura and Nanboku-chō periods, originally under the name Kōge-in. A tradition holds that in 587 Prince Shōtoku had one of twelve Yakushi Nyorai statues he carved placed here by Hata no Kawakatsu, and that Kūkai later entered the mountain. The temple burned in the Tenshō era (1573–1579) during Chōsokabe raids; only Hōkoku-ji survived, and its Yakushi hall was rebuilt afterwards.

The temple is known as "Mine no Yakushi-san", after the healing Buddha Yakushi Nyorai, its main image. Its temple seal is a sixteen-petaled chrysanthemum. The site is not part of the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage; it belongs to the Shingon Daikaku-ji school and is visited for Yakushi devotion.

Hōkoku-ji stands at the foot of Mount Bizan in Minamishō-machi, Tokushima, behind Kuramoto Sports Park. From JR Kuramoto Station on the Tokushima Line it is about a 20-minute walk; by car from the Tokushima Interchange of the Tokushima Expressway it takes about 30 minutes. The main hall sits on a stone base reached by steps, with a railed wooden veranda.

Behind the temple lies Tataridani Jōgon-ji, an abandoned okunoin reached past Minamikurazumo 3-chome 32, said by tradition to hold the grave of Prince Shōtoku. The main image is a Yakushi Nyorai, and the temple seal bears a sixteen-petalled chrysanthemum. Locals call the temple "Mine no Yakushi-san".
