Chojagahara Abandoned Temple Ruins

Daumehekazan Endong Shoboji Temple

Commonly known as ``Oku-no-Shobo-ji,'' it was opened in 1348 by Zen Master Muzo Ryosha. It was once the third head temple of the Soto sect, along with Eiheiji (Fukui Prefecture) and Sojiji (Yokohama City). Even now, monks gather from all over the country to undergo rigorous training. The precincts are solemn, yet filled with an atmosphere that makes you feel as if time is passing slowly. The serpentine stone steps and the thatched roof of the 720 tsubo (approximately 720 tsubo) law hall, one of the largest in Japan, are spectacular. The main hall, shrine, and somon are designated important cultural properties by the country. We also offer various Zen meditation sessions and vegetarian cuisine (reservations required), allowing you to have a valuable Zen temple experience.
