Experience in VR the breathtaking National Treasure “Menuma Shodenzan Shodendo.”
Enjoy the splendid carvings of this sacred site of matchmaking as you virtually join the temple’s worship path.

Menuma Shodenzan, located in Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture, is known as one of the Three Great Shoden temples of Japan and is affectionately called “Shoden-sama of Menuma.”
At its center stands the Shodendo Hall, built in the mid-Edo period and designated as the only National Treasure building in Saitama.

The entire exterior of Shodendo is adorned with elaborate and colorful carvings, said to rival even Nikko Toshogu Shrine in their magnificence.
With a history of more than 800 years, the temple grounds preserve many important cultural properties, including the Kisomon Gate with its ornate carvings and the Nakamon Gate, the oldest surviving structure.

In this VR180 video, you can pass through the three gates along the approach and experience the path to the main hall as if you were actually there.
Immerse yourself in the splendid carvings and centuries of spiritual tradition through the power of VR.
