오사카부립 야요이 문화 박물관 주변 × 선의 세계관이 느껴지는 숙소식사의 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

I had a zazen meditation experience and tried shakyo (Buddhist sutra copying). It was very relaxing. The zazen session was mainly for international guests, but I still enjoyed it and found it a great experience. They kindly mailed me the shakyo materials they had forgotten to give me, along with a letter—thank you very much. I was able to relax at such a thoughtful Accommodation. I also received a leaflet map of the temple district, but I didn’t have enough time to visit many temples, so next time I’d like to set aside more time for that as well.

Four of us women stayed in the Room called “Yomoyama.” As a corner Room, it had great views, and we loved the lush garden and the spacious Japanese-style Room set up as a summer tatami sitting area. Every attendant provided wonderful service, so we were able to relax and enjoy our stay. Dinner was thoughtfully prepared, and we enjoyed every dish. From 8:00 p.m., we took a walk in the garden to watch fireflies; since the weather was good, we saw many of them. It was a great trip where we could feel the charm of Japan in this historic and wonderful building.
