Vegan banquet

A completely unique experience. We have just eaten the most delicious, exquisite vegan banquet. We were presented with 3 trays of small dishes all full of flavour and very unique. The staff were lovely, spoke great English and explained what every dish included them they kept coming in with more and more dishes. I have never had a meal like that before, it was absolutely delightful.

Shojin ryori at it’s best!

Stayed here 1 night this November during the Koyo (autumn leaf) season.
Although I had shojin ryori at many temples before, it was my first time staying at one overnight.
Although the hallways were quite cold, our room was properly heated and there was even an onsen! The food was excellent. So many little different dishes. The package included dinner and breakfast.

A very authentic experience!

Prepare your back and your legs (depending on your flexibility) for some discomfort, but your tummies and your soul to be happy :)

One of the most authentic experiences we had in Japan! When staying in this temple, you get to experience a traditional Japanese room (with complimentary green tea and wagashi), a real onsen, a Buddhist prayer, and of course Shojin Ryori.

Pros: Amazing seasonal food, Budhist ceremony

Cons: Curfew at 9pm :S, Slightly uncomfortable futon bed
