The temple incorporates traditional Tibetan architectural elements with gold prayer wheels standing at the top of steep stone steps leading to the main hall.

A female chief priest who trained at the Jokhang monastery in Lhasa established this temple, becoming the first Japanese woman ordained as a Tibetan chief priest.

The temple displays numerous thangkas, traditional Tibetan Buddhist paintings that narrate the life and teachings of Buddha through detailed artistic representations.

Located at 101 Aobadai in Moriyama-ku, the temple includes a café serving authentic Tibetan dishes such as thukpa noodle soup and butter tea with imported yak milk.

The temple functions as a spiritual center where visitors seek connections for various aspects of life while experiencing a combination of Japanese and Tibetan cultural elements.
