Our Story

It started with a simple observation: 35 million tourists visit Japan annually, but many temples are closing to foreigners due to disrespect.

In 2024, we collaborated with Mudan, a major Japan-focused creator, to test speedrunning temples. The response was overwhelming—36k views and thousands asking "how do I do this?"That's when Templathon was born. We're building a platform that makes cultural exploration fun, respectful, and unforgettable.
