A Temple Stay by the Shore: Find Tranquility Amid Sea Breezes
Located within the precincts of Kaiganji Temple, the special 18th pilgrimage temple, “Kaiganji Shukubo” offers travelers a serene retreat that gently embraces each step of their journey. The lodging includes historic rooms where feudal lords once stayed, alongside tatami-floored Japanese-style rooms, all carrying the calming scent of wood and straw. Check-in is available from 3 PM to 7 PM, and the shared facilities include bathrooms, toilets, and washing machines—simple yet functional to ensure a comfortable stay. Guests are served shōjin ryōri (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) for both dinner and breakfast, where the quiet spirit of the land seeps into every dish, softly rejuvenating both body and mind for the journey ahead.
