Introduction to Kongotyoji Temple
In Houmotsu-kan, it is possible to see many important cultural assets, including traveling goods, Buddha statues and religious tools. Also, there is a legendary rice cooker, which was able to turn one grain of rice into 10,000 grains when used by Kobo-Daishi according to the legend.
Shukubo (temple stay)
This shukubo was very good. The room was clean and the facilities, such as the bath and the washing machine, were complete. As small as it was, I was able to use a room all to myself and the meal was also gorgeous. I was impressed by the good sense of the priest’s wife who prepared it.
It seems that the room across from mine was large and had a good view. It was used by people on group tours.
The morning service was conducted in the main hall, which was connected to the shukubo by a corridor. We chanted the Heart Sutra three times so that all the participants could chant together in harmony.
