It has a passageway that divides a pool of water filled with lotuses: a symbol of Japanese tradition, in symmetrically two parts. The stillness of the water has a meditative effect and perhaps implications of spiritual cleansing.
The staircase in the passage with whitewashed walls leads to the sanctuary where the Amida Buddha statue resides. The central sanctum is all red-orange creating an aura of its own. This Japanese temple designed by Tadao Ando is an extraordinary example of the radically changing Japanese temple architectural style.
