About Chosen Temple Buddhistiskt tempel

Chosen Temple är ett litet buddhistiskt tempel beläget i Asakuchi City, Okayama, Japan. Byggnaden är uppförd i armerad betong, med ytterväggar klädda i noggrant utvald japansk granit. Traditionellt japanskt träarbete används invändigt, vilket skapar en lugn och varm interiör. Templet står på en tomt om 950 kvadratmeter och har en byggnadsyta på 77 kvadratmeter. Designen placerar templet i harmoni med det omgivande landskapet och erbjuder besökare en stilla plats för bön och meditation samtidigt som de kan njuta av utsikten.
