  • 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)?

Ichijoin

606 Koyasan, Koya-cho, Ina-gun

  • A beginner-friendly Shukubo located in Koyasan, Wakayama Prefecture

  • Ichijo-in Temple is recommended. You can also experience Shojin Ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine), sutra copying, and morning services that are unique to a temple lodging. The surrounding nature makes for a stunning display of autumn foliage. Beginners in spiritual practice are also welcome, so why not stay with an open mind and give it a try?

  • Experience sutra copying and enjoy delicious Shojin Ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine)

  • I stayed here quite a while ago, did sutra copying, and enjoyed Shojin Ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine). It was a great experience. There seem to be a lot of different plans available now. It's more like a hotel than a temple. There’s even a TV. There’s no need to feel nervous about staying here. The monks will serve you the food.
