We are a family-run Buddhist temple in the beautiful mountains of Yoshino, Nara.

Besides caring for the temple, we maintain bamboo forests, gardens, vegetable fields, and satoyama (traditional rural woodlands). We also prepare for temple ceremonies and operate a small temple lodging (shukubo).

Every season brings different projects, so there is always something new to experience. We enjoy sharing Japanese rural life and culture with people from around the world.
