The Tenrikyo Church Headquarters. Tenri City. Nara Japan.
This is the main headquarters of the Tenrikyo religion. Located in the city of Tenri, this establishment is significant to followers because it is built around the Jiba, the spot where followers believe God (known in Tenrikyo as Tenri-o-no-Mikoto) conceived humankind. Tenrikyo is neither a branch of Buddhism or Shintoism. It is officially classed as an independent religion, and is one of Japan's major "new religions".
