The decor has a bit of an industrial vibe mixed with Japanese elements—very stylish. The soundproofing is pretty good too, so you don't really hear much noise at night.

Head Temple Takao-san Yakuo-in
This temple was established in 744 by Gyoki, the highest ranked priest, on the orders of Emperor Shomu. It is located in the middle of Mt. Takao and the formal name is Takao-san Yakuo-in Yuki-ji. It is a head temple of Shingon Buddhism, and one of the three major temples in the Kanto area with Narita-san Shinsho-ji and Kawasaki Daishi Heiken-ji. Izuna Daigongen is the principal image who has been believed to appear as a form of Fudo Myoo, Tengu which has been believed to be an attendant for Fudo Myoo and lived in the mountain so many statues of Tengu are placed on the premise.
The main hall is grand and majestic, with a strong traditional Japanese temple vibe. It's always busy with worshippers, even on weekdays.
