Sapporo Japan Temple

The Sapporo Japan Temple features white granite exterior walls with sea-wave patterns and stands 127 feet tall with a floor area of 48,480 square feet.

The temple construction began in October 2011 and was completed in 2016, becoming the third Mormon temple established in Japan after Tokyo and Fukuoka.

The interior design incorporates traditional Japanese elements, including stone flooring patterns based on tatami mats and locally influenced decorative artwork throughout the building.

The temple complex spans 9.8 acres and includes an arrival center, housing facilities for temple workers, and dedicated spaces for religious ceremonies and community gatherings.

During the groundbreaking ceremony in 2011, former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama participated to recognize the church's support during natural disasters.
