#TERA ONLINE TELL A FRIEND ARCHIVE#

There’s also a request form if there’s a particular temple at which you would like to stay. Requesting a stay is very simple and can be done by adding Tera Ango’s official account on LINE as a friend or over its website. Renewal for the next month is automatic, so you must tell staff of your plans to leave at least five days before departure. Guests can reserve their stay at one of these temples for a minimum of one month. It prides itself as being a place to meet all different kinds of people. The latest addition to the list, Kakurinbo is located in Yamanashi Prefecture, not far outside of Tokyo. Kakurinbo (覚林坊) / Minamikoma District, Yamanashi Prefecture One of the main draws of Koninji is the opportunity to try copying sutras (“shakyo”) and tracing Buddhist images (“shabutsu”). Koninji is located on Sado Island, particularly famous for housing a conservation center for the Japanese crested ibis (“toki”). Koninji (弘仁寺) / Sado City, Niigata Prefecture Unique perks include the chance to try farming and experience the on-site sauna. Kawase Kannon Entsuji (川瀬観音 円通寺) / Yame District, Fukuoka Prefectureĭubbing itself a “natural therapy salonhouse,” Entsuji is a great choice for anyone who wishes to reconnect with nature. Ekoin also offers the exciting chance to recite sutras in front of the daily fire ritual (“gomagyo”). The Buddhist priests at Ekoin are largely in their 20s and 30s, including the incredible dancing monk that we featured not too long ago. Koyasan Ekoin (高野山 恵光院) / Ito District, Wakayama Prefecture Here’s a brief overview of the four temples where you can live as of this writing. Therefore, it’s important to check the details carefully for each location to find the most suitable fit for you. Each location offers slightly different expectations and opportunities, including cleaning and cooking duties, meditation, and sutra reading, as well as accessibility for children and non-Japanese speaking foreign guests to stay. The list of specific temples across Japan that are partnering with Tera Ango currently stands at four (already one more than at its launch), with plans to continue expanding. Tera Ango hopes to revive interest in temples while also forging new connections with local communities, especially among younger generations. The absence of overseas tourists paying to stay in pilgrim’s lodgings throughout the pandemic has also hit hard. The idea for Tera Ango came about as Japan has seen a decrease in the number of people who both visit Buddhist temples and financially support them over the past several years. This new service doesn’t just offer the chance for a short-term escape, however, but the chance to actually live and take part in daily life, including certain ascetic practices, at a Buddhist temple over an extended time. “Tera” means “temple” and “ango” is the term for a Buddhist meditation retreat in Japanese. On March 14, Japanese homestay company Familyinn launched a first-of-its-kind service platform called Tera Ango. The first of its kind in Japan, this opportunity is perfect for anyone who needs to refresh the body and the mind.
