What to expect

Getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and practicing zazen and shakyo under the guidance of monks in a peaceful environment helps to free oneself from the stress of daily life and find inner peace.
The experience in a Zen temple with more than 300 years of history is different from simple tourism, as it will allow you to obtain deep spiritual satisfaction.
In addition, the vegan "fucha-ryori" meals prepared by the monks not only satisfy the body and mind through nutrition, but are also a valuable opportunity to learn about the teachings and essence of Zen.
It is a wonderful, unique and authentic experience to rediscover oneself and cultivate the richness of the heart.
