Visits and Private Viewing of a Temple Closed to the Public

Luxury Program

What you can enjoy in this program

WAKJAPAN's continuing close relationship with temples makes it possible for WAKJAPAN visitors to enter temples not normally open to the public. Away from a huge traffic of tourists, you can meet with one of the monks who can tell you about the temple over a cup of Japanese tea and traditional sweets in a tranquil atmosphere. This course is for those who want to learn more than guidebook information. The temple visits normally takes 1 to 1.5 hours
