About Chosen Temple Tempoly Bodista

Ny Tempoly Chosen dia tempoly bodista kely miorina ao amin'ny tanànan'i Asakuchi, Okayama, Japana. Ny trano dia vita amin'ny beton mitam-by, ary ny rindrina ivelany dia rakotra vato granita japoney voafantina tsara. Ny asa hazo nentim-paharazana japoney no ampiasaina ao anatiny, ka mamorona atitrano milamina sy mafana. Mitsangana eo amin'ny toerana mirefy 950 metatra toradroa ny tempoly ary manana velaran-trano 77 metatra toradroa. Ny famolavolana dia mametraka ny tempoly ho mirindra amin'ny tontolo manodidina ary manolotra ho an'ny mpitsidika toerana mangina ho an'ny vavaka sy ny fisaintsainana sady mankafy ny fahitana manodidina.
