Staying at a Temple

These days, more temples are offering overnight stays. Visitors can enjoy temple meals, listen to monks' talks, and practice zazen meditation.

At temples, you wake up early. You chant sutras together with the monks. Breakfast consists of special vegetarian cuisine (shojin ryori) that uses no meat or fish. During the day, you can practice sutra copying (shakyo) or do zazen meditation.

Many participants are people who want to escape their busy daily lives and spend some quiet time. Many foreign visitors also come, as it's an opportunity to experience traditional Japanese culture.

While it's often more expensive than hotels, these stays are popular because they offer unique experiences. However, since it's a temple, you go to bed early. The use of mobile phones and internet is generally discouraged.

In this way, old temples are creating new value as places for modern people to have unique experiences.
