A modern temple with a radical design standing in the heart of the Dojima business district. The polyhedral exterior using mirrored glass is futuristic, looking unlike a temple at first glance, yet it enshrines an ancient Yakushi Nyorai. It represents the ultimate fusion of modern architecture and traditional faith. Events like the "Setsubun Obake" are also famous. A hidden gem symbolizing the unique coexistence of Japan's "past" and "present."
