Zenkoji Fuchinobo

Thank you very much, Fuchinobo.This trip was truly enjoyable.We were delighted to have the opportunity to stay at a temple Accommodation at Zenkoji and enjoy a variety of experiences. We also thoroughly enjoyed the delicious shojin-ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine). This was all thanks to everyone at Fuchinobo, and we are sincerely grateful.

For my first visit to Zenkoji Temple, despite being from Nagano Prefecture, I decided to stay at a temple lodging for the first time. Though compact, the accommodation was incredibly hospitable and thoughtful, providing a very comfortable and relaxing stay. The room and facilities were impeccably clean. The meals were beautifully prepared kaiseki cuisine and astonishingly delicious.The morning service was truly impressive. Starting with a 5:10 am gathering in the cool morning air, we were guided through the history and highlights of both the accommodation and Zenkoji Temple. At the main hall, we received prayers up close to the monks—a deeply fulfilling two hours that far exceeded my expectations. Thank you for this invaluable experience. I would love to stay at Fuchinobo again next time!
