You can Stay at Japanese Zen Temple in Chichibu | Taiyoji Temple.

There are no houses around the main hall, which was built in the Edo period and is the lodging facility, and there is no mobile phone signal. All you can hear is the sound of the clear stream and the chirps of birds. Looking up at the starry sky from the open-air bath where you can fully enjoy the blessings of nature.

In a place far removed from the 21st century, as you surrender yourself to a relaxed time, you realize that the ties and unnecessary thoughts that cover your mind are events from a faraway world. Even if you are living your life by stretching yourself as much as you can in human society, you will realize that there is no need for that here. I want

everyone to realize how wonderful you are just as you are, without any pretense. The ultimate natural state of learning is to use the majestic nature that spreads out before you as your teacher and textbook. This is the Zen philosophy that has supported Taiyoji Temple for 700 years. There is absolutely no point in stretching yourself here, or, conversely, belittling yourself. The importance of being your true self. If you open your heart to the wind that flows quietly through the mountains, you will feel these thoughts flowing smoothly into your mind.By the way, Taiyoji Temple was featured on the NHK program "Enjoying the Special Shukubo."
