It serves as the formal gateway and arrival threshold for the entire 1&#215;3 mile sanctuary.<br>\u00a0<br>Tange\u00a0designed this area to house essential infrastructure, including visitor centers, administrative offices, bus terminals, research institutes, and accommodations. By concentrating commercial and transport activities at this northern entry point, the plan preserves the spiritual integrity and silence of the Monastic Zone and the Sacred Garden situated further south.<br>\u00a0<br>Just beyond the gateway area stands the pristine white World Peace Pagoda (Nipponzan-Myohoji) and the World Peace Bell, installed to offer visitors an immediate symbolic ritual of peace before they embark down the central canal. While historical pilgrimage routes during the\u00a0Ashokan\u00a0and medieval eras entered the sacred grove through local village paths, the modern master plan uses this northern gateway to create an organized, contemplative transition for millions of international visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
