Experience a one-of-a-kind journey as we venture into a part of Engakuji Temple that is usually off-limits to the general public. This exclusive area has been reserved for our private use, providing an exceptional opportunity for an immersive cultural encounter.

If you wish, you can even participate in the karate demonstration yourself.

Moreover, our knowledgeable guide will facilitate meaningful conversations, as they translate the insightful words shared by the temple's venerable monk.
