Introduction of the Accommodation








Over fourteen hundred years ago, in the land of Shinano, the unique temple Zenkoji, welcoming all, was established. The day begins with the morning ritual that has remained unchanged since ancient times. The resonating chants in the solemn main hall guide the soul from confusion to peace. The tranquility of dawn, the blueness of morning. Experiencing the natural beauty at a modest property. Starting a new day from "Yakuoin," which has marked eternal time alongside Zenkoji.








From the tranquil Zenkoji Temple, the chants of monks resonate. The morning ritual "Oasaji," which has been conducted daily without fail for over a thousand years, is a ceremony performed by all monks of the entire Zenkoji Temple. Experience a moment to feel the solemn and serene atmosphere of the monks. "Oasaji," the morning service at Zenkoji Temple, begins with sunrise. Stay at the temple's property and visit the temple in the morning to start your day with a calm mind.
