Tokyo Japan Temple
LDS Temple in Tokyo, Japan
About
The Tokyo Japan Temple (formerly the Tokyo Temple) (東京神殿, Tōkyō Shinden) is the 20th constructed and 18th operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Located in Minato, Tokyo, Japan, and dedicated in 1980, it was the first temple built in Asia. Its compact style provided a model for later buildings in urban areas, such as the Hong Kong China and Manhattan New York temples.
The temple's design was inspired by Japanese architecture and culture. Following the announcement of the Tokyo Japan temple on August 9, 1975, groundbreaking took place on October 27, 1980; however, a traditional ceremony was not held since the mission home had already been constructed on the site.
