Overview
Contemporary Zen museum fusing steel-mesh art, fog installations, and monk-run soba dining.
A contemporary Zen complex where traditional temple architecture meets cutting-edge art installations. The centerpiece 'Kohtei' by Kohei Nawa is a massive steel-mesh pavilion floating over a reflecting pool. Visitors walk through raked rock gardens, a full-size replica of a Muromachi-era tearoom, and immersive fog installations before ending at a soba restaurant run by monks.
