Reiyūkai Shakaden Temple
Tucked in mid-block behind city buildings near the Tokyo Tower sits an immense, unusual, pyramidal roofed temple of the Reiyukai Inner Trip movement.
The ITR movement is a modern Japanese religion which emerged as an offshoot of Buddhism in the 1930s, although their website describes the sect as an “Non-Governmental Organization in the field of mental, physical and spiritual well-being and education.” The Inner Trip Reiyukai headquarters, known as the Shakaden Temple, which contains many smaller enclosures under its giant shadow, was built in 1975.
