At Anrakuji Temple in Bessho Onsen, if you make a reservation in advance, you can experience zazen from 6am...! *Reservations must be made 5 days in advance

On the way to the zazen, the stairs leading to Anrakuji Temple, illuminated by the morning light, were very beautiful📷´-

As I climbed the stairs, Anrakuji Temple came into view

I listened to a wonderful priest talk about zazen and then the zazen experience began

15 minutes of nothingness...
It seems short but it's a long time...
It's quite difficult to empty your mind💦
