Eiheiji temple has unveiled breathtaking views of its centuries-old architectural anatomy using cutting-edge technology: collaborating with principal construction contractor Shimizu Corp, the temple released images of its historical buildings last Thursday. These virtual replicas, generated through digital twin technology, provide an unprecedented perspective on the temple's heritage structures. It's as if viewers can peer through an X-ray machine, exploring every intricate detail—from the attic beams to the columns beneath the floor—from all angles imaginable.
Admission is 700 JPY (USD4.46) for adults and 300 JPY for junior high and elementary school students.
Eiheiji temple has suffered from fires on eight occasions since it was founded in 1244 by Zen master Dogen. During the Edo Period (1603-1867), the temple was ravaged by significant fires approximately once every 50 years. The most recent fire in 1879 destroyed four buildings, including the Joyoden Hall, which was later rebuilt and designated an important cultural property.
