Tenrikyo Church Headquarters, Religious headquarters in Tenri, Japan

Tenrikyo Church Headquarters is a religious facility in Tenri comprising several interconnected buildings arranged in a unified complex. The ensemble includes a Main Sanctuary, a memorial area, and administrative spaces linked by covered passages.

The organization gained legal recognition in 1888 under Japan's Shinto Main Bureau, enabling the establishment of branch churches nationwide. This recognition helped the movement to institutionalize and spread its teachings far beyond its birthplace.

The site functions as a gathering place where followers participate in ceremonies and spiritual practices throughout the year. Visitors can observe how members come together here to express their beliefs and maintain their community bonds.

The headquarters is located near central Tenri and is readily accessible to visitors. The complex is spacious, so it helps to move at an easy pace and allow time to explore the various areas.

The site is revered by followers as the Jiba, meaning the exact point where their deity is believed to have created humankind. This belief makes the location a sacred and irreplaceable center of their spiritual world.
