Shinkoji Temple is a minimalist interior located in Negano, Japan, designed by Mamiya Shinichi Design Studio. The architects characterize the temple as an architecture that connects they sky and the city. Firstly, two pillars as the building’s frames were likened to temple gates, and divide the building east and west by diagonally connecting 3.6m-high girders on these pillars—turning the road leading to the temple into part of the visual experience. Honzon, a principal object of worship, was arranged facing west on the first floor worship place. On the second floor, a multipurpose hall for the temple’s supporters was established.
