About this experience
You will experience burning incense while listening to a Buddhist monk's sutra. Only participants of this tour will be asked to write their wishes on special strips of paper and deliver them to Yokihi-Kannon under the prayer of the monks.
At the main Buddhist hall, an important cultural asset, you will listen to explanations about Buddhist statues. You will also have the opportunity to see the service (a ceremony in which Buddhist monks read sutras and pray), which even Japanese people rarely have the chance to see.
Then, you will have the opportunity to visit Shariden (The hall that houses the bones of Buddha. It is unpublished cultural property .), where you will be able to try Shabutsu (Buddhist sutra copying) and view the garden.
This tour is very special because you will be able to hear directly from and experience together with a monk of the only imperial family temple in Japan. Please come and discover the profound history and culture of Kyoto!
