A day spent at a historic Property that has shared time with Zenkoji Temple.

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.
