Experience

This experience is more than just an activity. It will be a precious time to transcend language barriers and face your own heart through concentration and meditation. You can bring back the sutras and Buddha you've finished writing as special memories of your trip and as proof that they bring peace of mind.

<What is Sha Sutra? ＞

Sutra copying is carefully transcribing sutras with Buddhist teachings written on them, one letter at a time. That time of concentrating and brushing will calm your mind, forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and find inner peace.



<What is Shabutsu? ＞

Buddha photography is drawing a picture of the Buddha by carefully tracing it line by line. Like a sutra, it concentrates the mind and makes you feel pure. Capturing the Buddha's gentle expressions and detailed decorations will be a valuable opportunity to deeply touch Japanese art and spirituality.

After preparing your mind with sutras and Buddha, take a special tour around the precincts.

A specialized guide will explain the history and architectural style of the majestic temple, starting with the five-storied pagoda and main hall, and the stories hidden within it in an easy-to-understand manner. Please feel the majesty of the building, which is the beginning of Japanese culture, and the profound sense of history up close.

After visiting, you can enjoy the local “Ikaruga specialty Tatsutaage Lunch.”
