Buddhist cuisine to enjoy while gazing at the fantastic scenery
While looking out at the garden, you can taste the vegetarian cuisine prepared for this activity by the vegetarian restaurant “Ajiro”, which is a cooking method of Myoshinji Temple.
It is a dish that you can feel autumn with your eyes and tongue, such as white dressing with grilled apples and a dish that expresses chestnuts. Enjoy the unique taste of autumn while gazing at the moon floating in the clear sky and the fantastic garden illuminated by the moonlight.
Matcha that you can enjoy in the normally closed Kakure tea room
In the normally closed Kakure tea room, you can enjoy the behavior of matcha by the deputy chief priest and his wife. The Kakure Tea Room is a tea room designed so that it cannot be recognized from the outside, and was created when the tea ceremony was prohibited at Myoshinji Temple because it hindered training.
By listening to the preaching while tasting matcha in a quiet tea room illuminated by the soft light of the lanterns, you will be able to look back at yourself and sharpen your mind.
