Shinkatsuji Temple, located in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, is a Rinzai sect temple known as a Zen training center. Its vast grounds blend traditional temple buildings with modern architecture, creating a space reminiscent of a Zen theme park. ✨
When you visit, you'll feel a dignified atmosphere amid the silence, and just walking through the temple feels like your mind is being centered. In particular, the "Koutei" garden offers a meditation experience using light and sound, immersing you in an extraordinary world. Experiences like vegetarian cuisine, sutra copying, and zazen are also available, making this a valuable spot for taking time to "face yourself" during your trip.
Access is approximately 25 minutes by car from JR Fukuyama Station. If you take the bus, it's approximately a 15-minute walk from the "Tenjinyama" stop.[1]
Why not take a trip to center your mind at Shinshoji Temple, where silence and beauty blend together?
