Preserving Japan’s folk houses and other traditional structures + building arts -
Stewardship, creative reuse, disassembly + relocation, events & workshops,
architectural study tours + artisan fellowships
Recently, temples, shrines, and other related structures are being torn down as rural areas become more and more depopulated.
Jyousen Temple is 372 years old and is scheduled to be torn down in December 2024 unless it can be relocated.
A detailed estimate of costs to relocate and rebuild the temple is available. (Note: The estimate does not include the extensions that were added to the temple as it is thought to be best that the temple return to its original form.)
