A healing temple stay where history and art harmoniously intertwine
The lodging at Iwamoto-ji Temple offers a welcoming and comfortable retreat for weary pilgrims. Guests can choose between spacious communal rooms or private 6-tatami mat rooms, both providing a restful atmosphere. Meals are plentiful, featuring dishes like sashimi and tempura, and guests are welcome to enjoy unlimited rice refills—a thoughtful gesture that many travelers appreciate. Unique experiences await as well, such as a private-use sauna and a special guest room adorned with vibrant pop art by the artist SHETA, blending tradition with playful creativity. Participation in the morning temple service is also available, and the tranquil temple grounds offer spiritual support for the journey ahead. It’s a lodging filled with comfort, surprises, and quiet reassurance.

I arrived wet in the rain, but I was grateful that they took care of drying my wet things. Among other things, they prepared a large amount of newspaper to stuff wet shoes and absorb moisture, and it was very helpful that you can refill as many as you want until they dry. As a temple lodging, you can participate in the morning service, where you can feel the enthusiasm of the chief priest.
