[[Basil Hall Chamberlain]] (1880) indicated the presence of a temple dedicated to Urashima at [[Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama]], which housed several relics such as Urashima's fishing-line, and the casket (tamatebako).<ref name=manyo-chamberlain/> But when [[Ernest Satow]] went there with Chamberlain on 2 May 1880, there was nothing left to see except the statue of [[Guanyin|Kannon]] (Kanzeon), the [[bodhisattva]] of mercy.<ref name=satow/>

Neither recorded the name to the temple, but Japanese sources write that the so-called Urashima-dera (Urashima Temple) used to be {{nihongo||観福寺|Kanpuku-ji}}, until it burned down in 1868,{{Refn|group="lower-alpha"|One source says this was still during Keiō 4 in (1868)<ref name=inoue_osamu/> another wrote "27th day of 1st month of Meiji 1"<ref name=kenkyukai1928/> Japan decided that dates in Keio 4, be retroactively rewritten as dates in Meiji 1.}} and the temple, including the Kannon goddess statue got translated to {{nihongo||慶運寺|Keiun-ji}} in 1872.<ref name=inoue_osamu/><ref name=hayashi-kampukuji/>

The old Urashima-dera sat on a mountain top. There is a circulating pamphlet which shows the view of the harbor from this vantage point, depicting the fleet of [[Black Ships]] led by [[Matthew C. Perry|Commodore Perry]]'s fleet in 1852–1854.<ref>{{citation|title=Tōkaidō Kanagawa urashima-dera sanjō ni okeru ikokusen hasso chōbō no kei |script-title=ja:東海道神奈川於浦島寺山上異國舩眺望之景 |trans-title=Eight American ships in Yokohama seen from the Urashima Temple |url=https://www.loc.gov/resource/cph.3g10365/}}</ref>

Local legend also claims native ties to Urashima Tarō, claiming that his father Urashima Tayū was originally from somewhere not far from Yokohama, in [[Miura District, Kanagawa]] in Sagami Province. But the father moved to 
[[Tango Province]]. This legend adds that when Urashima Tarō returned from the Dragon Place, he was guided to seek his parents' grave in "Shirahata, Musashi Province" (in today's Yokohama).

He finally found the grave, thanks to Princess Oto-hime who lit up an illuminating light on a pine branch.{{Refn|group="lower-alpha"|A pine named {{nihongo||龍燈の松|Ryūto no matsu|extra='dragon lantern pine'}}, which was this illuminated pine according to legend, stood until it was cut down when the railway opened.<ref name=kenkyukai1928/>}} Tarō built a hut to live here, housing the goddess statue from the Dragon Palace. The hut later became Kampuku-ji temple.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Hagisaka |first=Noboru (萩坂昇) |title=Yokohama no minwa |script-title=ja:よこはまの民話|publisher=Musashi no jidō bunka no kai|year=1976 |series=Kanagawa no minwa|pages=97–103}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Kojima |first=Yoshiyuki (小島瓔礼)|author-link=<!--ja:小島瓔礼-->|title=Busō mukashi banashi shu: Kanagawa |script-title=ja:武相昔話集: 神奈川|publisher=Iwasaki Bijutsusha<!--岩崎美術社--> |year=1981|page=71}}</ref>
