There are several locations around Kuonji, the head temple of Nichiren.In Korean terms, it's like a temple stay.If you wish to attend the evening and morning worship services, you will be guided directly.I like special experiences in other countries.

I used it for group training.I thought it was a great blessing to be able to sleep in the main hall!The vegetarian cuisine was delicious, and I learned about Buddhist teachings and even tried copying sutras! The goshuin stamp was also cute!Thank you very much✨

We used it as an overnight training destination for a group of over 20 people.Of the many lodgings in Mt. Minobu, this lodging has the longest history.When I entered, I felt a solemn feeling surrounded by the scent of incense.Main hall? I had the luxurious experience of sleeping on a futon in front of the Buddha.For the meal, we had vegetarian cuisine.Is it bland? That's what I thought, but I was able to taste the flavor of the ingredients and was satisfied.On the second day, I had the opportunity to experience copying sutras, which gave me time to concentrate.I was also able to hear various stories from the head priest, Mr. Sato, and I felt that it was a very valuable time, as even though I am Japanese, I don't usually get to experience things like this.There are plenty of bathrooms and sinks, so you can stay with peace of mind.

I stayed here for BeautyJapan's inspection.The parking lot seems to be able to accommodate about 10 cars, so I'm glad that there is no problem even if you stay with multiple cars.It is a place where you can feel the history as it is the oldest inn in Minobu Town.The dining area has chairs and a table, so I felt that even those with walking disabilities could enjoy the meal without any problems.There are also chairs for small children, so families can enjoy the experience of staying at a temple.The bath is a large public bath.It was convenient because there were amenities such as a yukata, a small towel, and a toothbrush!Above all, the chief priest was friendly and kind, and I had a very relaxing time.

What a relaxing place.Even though it was my first time visiting, it felt nostalgic for some reason.Thank you very much for letting me use your hotel with a group the other day.It was my first experience staying at a temple.The interior was beautiful and I felt very comfortable.This was my first time having Buddhist vegetarian cuisine at a temple, but it was so delicious that I wanted to have it every day.On the second day, we had an unusually calming time listening to the chief priest's blessings and experiencing sutra copying.I hope you will bring your foreign friends and stay with us again.The location was great, so we recommend that you take a walk around the area when you visit.I gave it 4 stars because there were no bath towels and the water pressure in the shower was too weak (maybe it can't be helped due to the location...), but this time it was a very valuable experience. I did.Thank you very much 😊

I have never stayed there, but I am drawn to the priest's personality and visit here.I visit the mountain in Minobu 2-3 times a year, but the first time I have ever met a priest is at Shishinkaku. It was the first time that Betto (at the time) himself had spoken to me, and I was really surprised. Then, somehow, every time I meet you, I feel comforted and encouraged by your kind personality, your attentiveness, your attentiveness, and your concern. I came across this gentleman while he was tending to the pond in the garden, and said, ``I thought he was the uncle of some gardener.'' I was able to talk to him in a friendly manner. He's probably popular. Please visit or stay overnight and talk to the priest. There is no doubt that you will be warmed by his kind personality. Place your hands together

A very clean old folk house? at the hotelI slept comfortably😀The hot springs were very clean, as if they had been renovated, and there were no dirty areas that I would want to avoid.The water temperature may be too hot, but once you get used to it, it's fine.
