Overview

Active 1397 Rinzai Zen training monastery offering public zazen amid Hiroshima's best autumn color.

Head temple of its own Rinzai Zen branch, founded in 1397 and still operating as an active training monastery. The 600-year-old grounds are set in a deep valley where monks practice zazen amid towering cedars and moss-covered stone paths. Monthly public zazen sessions are open to visitors. The temple is Hiroshima's top autumn foliage destination in early November.
