Japan is a large, mountainous country full of shrines and temples. Before modern transportation, pilgrims would travel on foot to visit and pray at famous Buddhist temples. Since they were often far from home, visitors would stay at the temples and rest before they continue on their pilgrimage.

Even today, this practice of hospitality at temples is still available. At Kakurinbo, guests can experience an overnight stay at this traditional Buddhist temple, complete with vegetarian shojin ryori cuisine and a unique matsuri performance. Join Shizuka as she experiences a traditional temple stay in Yamanashi prefecture. Book today for an unforgettable and unique Japanese cultural experience!

    Fantastic video. It looked amazing up there. My favorite places are where there isn't a lot of people. Quiet and cozy. Thank you for sharing :)
  • Absolutely breathtaking 100% would love to visit. Your channel is so informable I love it.
  • Finding enlightenment may not be easy, but it seems like stairs are always part of the journey. The more stairs you climb, the more enlightened you will be. I am only being lighthearted. The plum beer looks delicious. I really enjoyed the the video specially that we can find Mexican flavors in some tradicional Japanese Buddhist dishes. 😄😉
