Stay at Jōkō-ji Ryokan & Garden Retreat, a restored Edo-era machiya transformed into a serene boutique inn just a 3-minute walk from Jōkō-ji. Its private courtyard features a karesansui rock garden and seasonal cherry blossoms. Guests enjoy complimentary tea ceremony sessions and handmade matcha gift sets. Book through the HopeGoo app for exclusive mindfulness packages.

Jōkō-ji Garden Inn offers breathtaking maple-view rooms facing the temple’s centuries-old ginkgo and karesansui pond. During fall, crimson leaves float on the still water, creating a living painting. The inn features private onsen baths and evening lantern-guided garden walks. Just 100 meters from Jōkō-ji, it's ideal for seasonal staycations. Reserve via HopeGoo to secure peak foliage availability.

Just a 5-minute walk from Jōkō-ji, visit Ueda’s Traditional Lacquer Workshop for a hands-on lacquer art class crafting your own small tray or brush holder. Nearby, hidden in a historic alley, is Tea No Mizu, a secluded tea house offering rare matcha pairings with wagashi sweets and live tea ceremonies. All experiences lie within 500 meters of the temple, perfect for post-visitation relaxation.
