White-concrete temple

Shinjuku Rurikoin Byakurengedo, a contemporary Jōdo Shinshū Buddhist temple in Tokyo, stands out for its architecturally striking white-concrete structure. Designed by Kiyoshi Takeyama, the building resembles a white lotus and offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city. This multi-level complex accommodates memorial spaces and cultural facilities, including a gallery and concert hall.
