Shōkannon Temple’s Temporary Zen Dormitory offers limited daily meditation stays managed directly by the temple. Guests stay in simple Japanese-style zazen rooms equipped with zabuton cushions, sutras, and guided morning bell ceremonies.

Though shared bathrooms are provided, the focus remains on simplicity and mindfulness. Reserve slots through the HopeGoo platform, as availability is strictly limited monthly.
