Shoureki-ji Temple Stay, Kyoto

Shoureki-ji Temple Stay, Kyoto
From experiencing traditional temple meals known as Shojin Ryori, to joining morning prayers, the Shoureki-ji Temple allows travellers to live a day in the life of a traditional Japanese monk. 

Kyoto, once the capital of Japan, is a city on the island of Honshu. It has classical Buddhist temples, as well as gardens, imperial palaces, Shinto shrines and traditional wooden houses. 

It’s also known for formal traditions such as kaiseki dining, consisting of multiple courses of precise dishes, and geisha, female entertainers often found in the Gion district. 

Located in the mountains near Ayabe, north of Kyoto, the Shoureki-ji Temple offers travellers the opportunity to experience Kyoto’s rich cultural and spiritual heritage. 

The temple only accommodates one group of up to six people at a time to ensure the best experience. 

The temple also serves as a good base for exploring the region and taking part in other activities such as traditional paper making at the Kurotani Washi Center
