Shukubo (temple stay)
Anrakuji Temple is an ancient temple located on the shores of Lake Kitagata. Awara Onsen is nearby.
Although I didn’t stay overnight, I did have an online preview with the head priest. This is why the images below are grainy.
Accommodation is limited to one group per day. The guest rooms are two adjoining Japanese-style rooms. The head priest is a master of flower arranging, and flowers are arranged in the guest rooms. They are particular about the mattress so that you can sleep well.
A statue of Kongorikishi (Vajrapani) is enshrined in the main hall.
There is service in the early morning. You can also experience Buddhism through activities such as copying sutras and paper cutting Buddhist paintings. Vegetarian sweets classes are also popular.
The head priest is very friendly.
