In the solemn main hall of a traditional Buddhist temple, experience Zen meditation as specially tuned Buddhist instruments resonate with pure tones. During meditation, teachings from Buddhist scriptures are shared to help you observe the form of the Buddha. Even beginners can deeply enter the world of meditation.
After meditation, enjoy two unique experiences available only at Ryuganji Temple.
The first is the Drone Buddha. This is an attempt to realistically express, through the power of technology, the Buddhist concept of “Gokuraku Raikou” (the worldview that at the moment of death, Amida Buddha, accompanied by Bodhisattvas, comes to welcome us from the Pure Land of Bliss riding on clouds). When you witness six Drone Buddhas flying in formation within the main hall, you will feel a sense of the future being protected.
The second is the original gacha machine. Crafted by master Buddhist artifact artisans, these gachas possess the refined presence of true works of art.
Finally, savor Japanese tea and Japanese sweets (wagashi) in a traditional tatami room, fully immersing yourself in the temple experience.
Note: This tour may be canceled due to a funeral for temple members.
Please enter through the temple’s main gate and proceed to the entrance hall. Our staff will be waiting for you.
