    A unique experience to stay in a temple. A bit isolated, but worth staying the night. We also did the sutra Writing session and just wandering around the property and garden was amazing.

    Beautiful temple interiors and gardens, relaxing time by the river, very friendly staff and most of all, the experiences that you can book when staying there: zen meditation, meal appreciation, and copying of sutras, all with the chief monk...
