    A unique experience attending the morning prayer with the monks. The room was just what we expected: a couple of futons and plenty of space for a table where we could enjoy some tea. Both breakfast and dinner were vegetarian, as the monks...

    A true Buddhist experience - the morning ceremony // dinner and breakfast (all vegetarian) were surprisingly refined and excellent - the proximity of the temples - the beauty of some of the art work on display

    Cool new experience to stay for the night in a temple. We had Japanese dinner and breakfast with a lot of tofu. In the morning we participated in the service that was also very interesting.
