A serene yet welcoming Accommodation where you can experience the Nembutsu, operated by Chion-in Temple, the head temple of the Jodo Shu sect.

Serene and warm, experience the chanting at the property. "Chion-in Wajun Kaikan" has been established in Higashiyama, Kyoto, a place rich in nature. Feel the breeze, admire seasonal flowers, enjoy festival music, and savor seasonal flavors. Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, relax, and align your mind with chanting. With Chion-in's unique hospitality, we deliver true relaxation.

  • Thank you for taking care of us during my daughter’s entrance exams. We stayed in a Western-style room, borrowed a desk lamp, and she studied at the table and chairs by the window. As this is temple lodging, entry and exit are allowed until 11:00 p.m., but that was not an issue for the exams. We did not add dinner to our Plan due to time constraints, but we ordered a shojin-ryori set meal at the on-site restaurant, which was not too heavy and was very good. There is also a shared bath, which helped us relax. Guests can attend the morning Buddhist service, but unfortunately we could not join this time because of the exams. Next time, we would like to stay for sightseeing and participate. Thank you very much.
