Temple Stay to relax yourself

Temple Stay to relax yourself

A fully private luxury experience for one group each day, in a temple with history stretching back over 1,000 years. In a location easily accessible from the city of Kyoto within an hour by train or car, rent out rooms in a building overlooking the Yura River for a soothing stay in a resplendent natural setting, with Zelkova trees over 600 years old in the temple grove. Select experiences to suit your needs from a selection including sitting and reclining zen meditation, goma fire rituals (also known as homa or havan), water meditation, copying of sutras, goshu-in temple stamp book-making, donning traditional vestments, hiking and river fishing in order to find your own opportunities to explore and restore your spirit. Also enjoy the hospitality of the married couple of attendants who maintain the temple, such as dishes of local game fowl prepared by the couple, who also emphasize the value of the life we receive from food.
