An era of uncertain and chaotic questioning.That's why it's important to take a moment to stop, reflect and make it personal.Temples provide that opportunity.We don't call it a "SHUKUBO", but rather "temple stay".We don't want our temple to be difficult to approach.However, we want to maintain the solemnity and discipline of the temple.We strive to strike the perfect balance, creating an environment that is easy for everyone to approach.Based on these values, we are launching the accommodation.
