A stay to calm your mind in Mount Koya, Mount Hiei, Zenkoji, Nara, Kamakura, and the Dewa Sanzan mountains

Shukubo are lodgings run by temples.

Originally intended as lodgings for pilgrims, shukubo have become popular with international travelers as "a spiritually engaging stay".

Such locations include the World Heritage Site of Mount Koya (Wakayama), the center of Tendai Buddhism at Mount Hiei (Shiga/Kyoto), Zenkoji Temple (Nagano), which has welcomed countless pilgrims, Nara, home to a strong Buddhist culture, Kamakura, dotted with Zen temples, and Dewa Sanzan (Yamagata), a sacred place for Shugendo.

All over Japan, you'll find shukubo, where tranquility and spirituality breathe.

Shukubo are a special type of travel experience that allows you to "rest your mind," completely different from a hotel.

They're the perfect stay for travelers who want to experience Japan's spiritual culture.
