| ●Brief description of project | The facility is located across from the majestic Sanmon, the
main gate to Chion-in, which is a national treasure of Japan. Wajun-Kaikan is opened to not only believers of Jodo-shu, for which Chion-in is a head temple, but also to the public. It consists of five levels; three stories above ground and two below. The face of the facility is the 1st floor lobby adjacent to Jingu-michi road, which features Maditation hall, café and a gift shop. Crossing a bridge from Chion-in-michi Road, “Gallery Wajun” is placed at the entrance hall on the first basement level. This floor is another face of Wajun-Kaikan, with a restaurant named “Kasui-an” . The 2nd basement level contains the multi-functional room called “Wajun-Hall.” This space works in conjunction with a light court that brings in light, wind and water to this level. There are also large bathrooms for the guests located on the same level. The 2nd and 3rd floor have 50 guest rooms ranging in styles from Japanese, Western, Japanese-Western, and barrier free. (Capacity of 170 guests) Renewal of the approach: Learning from archived records, the approach to Sanmon has been revived as a space desirable for visitors to escape the noises of daily life and to be led to the head temple. “Open mind with the nature, think deeply, and then you achieve guidance to find hope - it’s the approach that inspires your mind to face the society once again.” The approach surrounded by various greenery and the materials from the nature softly invites visitors to Sanmon. |
