THE FIRST THERAVADA TEMPLE IN JAPAN


FOUNDED IN 1989 SAWARA CITY, CHIBA PREFECTURE


A SPIRITUAL HOME FOR SRI LANKANS LIVING IN JAPAN


ABOUT LANKAJI TEMPLE

"LANKAJI" IS THE FIRST ESTABLISHED THERAVADA TEMPLE IN JAPAN.

Most Venerable Banagala Upatissa Nayaka Thero voluntarily founded the temple in
Sawara, Chiba Prefecture in 1989. From then until now, it has direct relations
with the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and acts as the main Sri
Lankan center of the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Japan. The Mahabodhi Society has
become a spiritual home for Sri Lankans as well as a bridge connecting Sri Lanka
and Japan, primarily in terms of communication. Most Venerable Banagala Upatissa
started the first temple in a rented house in Tokyo, but due to his unremitting
efforts and sacrifices, he managed to establish it in a permanent place before
long. It is currently the Sawara Lankaji Temple built in a beautiful place in
Chiba Prefecture. It has been an active place in the past as well as in the
present, not only on the religious work done in a traditional temple, but also
in the past as well as in the present.
