Place of Peace, Japanese temple at Furman University in Greenville, United States.
The Place of Peace stands as a 900-square-foot Jōdo Shinshū temple structure featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements and intricate wooden craftsmanship throughout its design.
Initially constructed in Japan during 1984, the temple was disassembled into 2,400 pieces and transported to South Carolina in 2004 for reconstruction at its current location.
The meditation hall displays a calligraphy scroll containing a poem by Koichi Tohei that expresses principles of mindfulness and connection to universal energy.
Visitors can find the temple at coordinates 34.92816°N and -82.43654°W on the Furman University campus, with dedicated parking areas nearby for easy access.
The temple building traveled across the Pacific Ocean in thousands of pieces, making it the first complete Japanese temple structure relocated to South Carolina.
