Hi!
I’m a Japanese stay-at-home dad, “Dynamic Ninja”(@dynamic_ninjya)
I stayed at Takayama Zenkoji Temple using the service called “Otera stay”

What is “Otera Stay”?
“Otera Stay” is the program you can stay at temples.
You can experience many Japanese traditional things, like “Ikebana” and “making Japanese sweets” at various temples in Tokyo.
And, you can stay over at Takayama Zenkoji Temple in Gifu pref..
“90% of the customers are foreigners” , said official website.
Please check out the website below;

“Takayama Zenkoji Temple” was reopened in July 2017, as the temple hotel.

I could sleep very well with this comfortable Futon.
There is nice and quiet shared space.
You can use free wi-fi.
You cab cook here.
They have a microwave and refrigerator.
Please book to use the bathroom.
Activities
Temple at night was fantastic.
In noon time, you can try “Kaidan meguri”:you can walk around the dark basement of the temple with no flashlight.
I also recommend ” Asaichi” the farmers market.
My mom kept eating snacks and fresh apple at “Asaichi.”

It was so nice experience for me, even I am a Japanese.
