Fukuoka Japan Temple

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fukuoka Japan Temple is the 88th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Fukuoka temple serves more than 7,700 members in Kyūshū, Okinawa, Yamaguchi, and Hiroshima.

Plans to build a temple in Fukuoka, Japan were announced on May 7, 1998. It is the second temple in Japan, the first being dedicated in Tokyo in 1980. Its 1.25 acre site in Chūō-ku is adjacent to the Fukuoka Municipal Zoo and Botanical Gardens, and was previously the location of a mission home and office buildings for the LDS Church. The temple has a single-spire design and the exterior is finished with polished Empress White and Majestic Grey granite from China, very similar to the Snowflake Arizona Temple.

A site dedication and a groundbreaking ceremony for the Fukuoka Japan Temple were held on March 20, 1999. L. Lionel Kendrick, a member of the Seventy and President of the Asia North Area, presided at the ceremony. The temple was open to the public for tours from June 1st through the 3rd, 2000. Those who toured the 10,700 square foot Mormon temple were able to see the Celestial room, two ordinance rooms, two sealing rooms, and baptistery, and were able to learn more about Mormon beliefs. President of the LDS Church, Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the Fukuoka Japan Temple on June 11, 2000.
