Property information

It is one of the fewaccommodations in Japan where you can stay at temple. You can stay in the temple grounds where religious activities of Jodo Shinshu (True Pure Land School) are being held. There is a main hall along with the head priest’s quarters (Kuri), and a spacious area covering ground of more than (100 Tsubo) 3600 sq ft with a separate cabin. After renovation made by a first-class architect, it has been made ready for accommodation. You can have a small gathering, or you can have a BBQ in the garden, also enjoyable with a large number of people! Although it is a little away from the tourist spots, it is a great location for walking and sightseeing because of the beautiful views on the way!.
