Authentic Zen experience at the head temple of the Zen sect

Tone your mind and body
Authentic experience and space surrounded by numerous cultural assets and history

The ultimate wellbeing space and experience

Awareness of lifestyles and work styles, as well as values, have changed dramatically around the world.
As we apply ourselves to new lifestyles, have we left our “hearts” behind?
In addition to living and working in the city, there are opportunities to look at the richness of life for oneself in a natural environment,
and to experience the joy of living and working in a natural environment.
We want to value a lifestyle that balances mind and body and achieves health and wellbeing.
For such people, we offer a Zen lifestyle, a zazen experience, healthy meals, and a variety of other activities.
We offer a time and space to balance the body and mind in a natural setting.
For small to large groups of individuals, corporations, and groups who wish to spend time with friends.
We open our temples on a semi-custom basis.
