Characteristics of Kubonobo

 

<An extraordinary space surrounded by history and nature> 

Kubo no Bo is one of the temples within the mountain of Kuon-ji Temple on Mount Minobu, the head temple of the Nichiren sect of Buddhism. It is a 15-minute walk from Kuon-ji Temple on Mount Minobu and is easily accessible, making it the perfect lodging for worshippers and overnight visitors. In the main hall, Nichin Shonin, the protector of lower back pain, Shichimen Daimyojin, and Kokuzo Bosatsu, the only one enshrined on Mount Minobu, are enshrined.

<Locally produced seasonal ingredients and heartfelt hospitality> 

At the temple lodgings, we serve dishes that make generous use of seasonal local Minobu vegetables and the local specialty, yuba. We welcome you with heartwarming hospitality and delicious flavors.We also offer detached guest rooms that lead through a tranquil wildflower garden, allowing you to enjoy an extraordinary moment away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. 

<A training experience that anyone can participate in> 

Not only guests staying at the hotel, but anyone can participate in the ascetic training experiences such as chanting, making bracelet-shaped rosary, and full-scale water training. It is an experience that will harmonize your mind and body. 

Bracelet-shaped rosary making experience 

• You can choose the color and material to make your own original rosary. The time spent carefully crafting each one is a time filled with healing and awareness. It's the perfect experience to commemorate your trip.

The charm of water walking

• Shuigyo is a training method in which one bathes in water. Shuigyo can also mean being hit by a waterfall or entering a river or the sea, but at Kubo no Bo, one bathes in a water bucket filled with water from a basin. Shuigyo originates from the "misogiharai" purification ritual described in the ancient Kojiki and Nihon Shoki. Water is said to wash away the dirt and impurities of the body and mind, and has long been practiced as a way to purify the six senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind), free oneself from worldly desires and desires, and achieve a pure mind and body.
