A columbarium attached to a temple.It was designed and constructed with respect for Japanese traditions, inheriting traditional Japanese designs and techniques. The first thing you see when you enter the building is the elliptical symbolic monument with a three dimensional curved surface. It is lit by spotlights installed on the ceiling and floor. Another highlight is the wooden coffered ceiling, which is equipped with indirect lighting that emits light toward the ceiling from all four sides. It also incorporates modern elements, making it a design that blends old and new.
