  • Chion-In Wajun Kaikan
  • Where is the best accommodation in Kansai to experience Shukubo?

I would like to visit a temple and experience Shukubo during the season when the autumn foliage is beautiful. Are there any beginner-friendly Shukubo that offer experiences like morning services and zazen meditation, and serve Shojin Ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine)?

Chion-In Wajun Kaikan

400-2 Rinka-cho

  • Chion-in Temple also offers Shukubo!

  • Conveniently located inside Chion-in Temple! Unlike other Shukubo that serve Shojin Ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine), this place offers Kaiseki cuisine, which includes fish and meat on the menu. You can still participate in sutra copying and morning services. There is a clean large public bath, and it’s essentially a hotel run by a temple.

  • Kyoto's Shukubo offer a variety of plans

  • This Shukubo is located in Chion-in Temple, a famous tourist spot in Kyoto. All rooms are equipped with a bathtub, toilet, and air conditioning. There are also rooms with beds. If you're looking for a more substantial meal than Shojin Ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine), Kaiseki cuisine using seasonal ingredients is recommended. Although it doesn't feel like a typical Shukubo, you can experience sutra copying, offering a unique and luxurious experience compared to ordinary temple lodgings.
