Spaceship temple architecture

Reiyukai Shakaden Temple, completed in 1975 by Takenaka Corporation, serves as the headquarters for the Reiyūkai new religious movement. Its monumental, spaceship-like design makes it a celebrated example of late-modern architecture. This dark concrete structure combines spiritual and civic functions, with a massive main hall and an underground water reservoir for the neighborhood.
