What Is a Shukubo (Temple Stay)?
A shukubo is lodging offered by a temple for worshippers and travelers. Often you can join the morning service and eat shojin ryori.
Some areas, such as Koyasan, are known for shukubo. Booking methods, check-in times and etiquette differ by temple, so check official information.
