How to stay overnight in a temple in Japan

Religious Japanese travelers have used them for lodging for years, but recently, historical temples with reservable rooms - “temple stays,” or shukubo - have become accessible to foreign tourists. We checked into Kakurinbo, a 550-year-old shukubo near Mount Fuji, and found a meditative experience, Buddhist-inspired vegetarian fine dining and a peaceful look at life outside of cities Read more: wapo.st/30MQzrm.

Buddhism is a very important religion in Japan and I am very happy for Japanese Buddhism to remain active in all areas of Japan for Buddhist holidays, ceremonies and funeral services. One of Japan's Imperial family members converted to Buddhism over a thousand years ago to accept Buddhism as a new spiritual religion along with Japan's indigenous religion Shinto. Today both Buddhism and Shinto work together to bring peace and harmony to all communities of Japan. Thank you for this video!👍😊✌️

Thanks for information you have so knowledge about Japan like the japanalyst. I have put some comments please reply to me on the japanalyst new video. But I have a question. Are you a follower of buddhism.

India is founder of Buddhism while India is a Hindu country then why we should Follow Buddhism ?

I'm hoping to find a Japanese buddhist temple that cater to Swedish and norwegian speakers.

@@iambhargab770 I'm so sorry about your illiteracy 😥😪 In Buddhism or any other religion there are many sects. Those sects can also be called "Schools of thoughts". You get it now? Where are you from ? You have a poor sense of humour!

I've been trying to make a reservation for one of these and it is absolutely impossible. Websites don't work, or are only in Japanese (and also don't work) or don't even allow to check availability für to high demand

少住寺庙里，寺庙是非常阳性的，至阳为煞气，但庙后就是好地方，煞气都被挡住了。所以古代住宅风水有“坟前庙后”为吉地的说法

[@jayantkamble6082]

@@divyarajpurohit2406 Not at all. Buddhism is from Shramanic tradition whereas Hinduism is from Vedic brahmanism tradition. Both religions are different.

[@jayantkamble6082]

@@shunyatva5308 Neither Buddha can be called Hindu nor Buddhists are Hindu. The word hindu is itself new in Buddhist context. The Buddha had never followed any kind castism nor Buddhists followed wheras modern Hindus are still divided in castes. The suffering is created by trushna, not desires. Trushna and Icchas both words have very different meanings. We Indian Buddhists have very beautiful traditions, we have never brought hindu corruption here.

​@@jayantkamble6082Hinduism and Buddhism is a part of Sanatan ( Also Shikism and Jainism and other dharmik religions). That's why Hinduism and Buddhism are similar.

[@kushagraverma6456]

Japanese believe in following the word of Buddha, living in simplicity, and decluttering your space by not including unnecessary furniture can help reduce your stress levels, and that is SOO ignorant of you to call someone's cultural stuff an "empty house"

[@Yesica1993]

Buddha's not a deity. So to whom are they praying?

[@Yesica1993]

@Gaun Yin That's not what I asked. Buddha was not a deity. As far as I know, he never claimed he was. Therefore, to whom are they praying?

[@Yesica1993]

@Gaun Yin I will ask one final time: To whom are they praying?

[@Yesica1993]

@Gaun Yin Oh. So they do treat him as a deity, even though he never claimed to be. Buddha is dead. Pray to Jesus Christ, who is alive.

[@Yesica1993]

@Gaun Yin Jesus died on the cross 2,000 yrs ago. The closest source documents (the gospels) have eyewitness testimony that He rose from the grave. What is your evidence that Buddha is alive? Or that he claimed to be a deity? Again, why are people praying to a man? A man who is dead , and who never claimed to be a deity in the first place?

[@Yesica1993]

@Gaun Yin Please do not speak to me as though I am stupid by telling me to "enlight my wisdom". I will ask one last time, please answer what I asked you. You mentioned Jesus, so you have heard of him. I assume you have read the source documents, which are the gospels. What is your evidence that Buddha is alive? Or that he claimed to be a deity? Again, why are people praying to a man? A man who is dead , and who never claimed to be a deity in the first place?
