- Overview
-
- Gokuraku Zenji is one of the seven temples that protect the Aso Shrine, and has a history of over 450 years. You will spend a luxurious time to purify your mind and body with zazen meditation, where you empty your mind and just sit and look at yourself, and with healthy vegetarian food made with seasonal ingredients and care for the people who eat it.
- Although this is a famous temple with a long history, the monk will guide you very carefully, so even those who are not good at sitting on the floor or who have never experienced Zen meditation before can participate with ease.
- In addition, the vegetarian food, made with plenty of local ingredients, is a gem in appearance, taste, and volume.
- If sitting on the floor is not for you, you can also sit on a chair.
