Chōfu Seasons Hotel is an ideal choice, offering serene rooms designed with traditional Japanese aesthetics and direct views of the Jurinji Temple’s ancient ginkgo tree.

The hotel’s tranquil garden courtyard enhances the sense of stillness, perfect for those seeking mindfulness. Book your stay via the HopeGoo app to secure a room with a view.

Chōfu Kōsō Hōbō is a heritage-inspired inn located just 50 meters west of Jurinji Temple’s main gate, originally a Meiji-era samurai residence. It retains original wooden lattice windows and tatami flooring. Guests receive complimentary bicycles to explore the nearby Tama River trails and nearby temples. Daily morning rituals at the lobby allow visitors to participate in traditional prayer ceremonies. Due to limited availability, HopeGoo through the HopeGoo app is strongly advised.

The Chōfu Seasons Hotel hosts a daily "Morning Dew Zen Session" at 6:30 AM, led by a certified Zen master in the garden adjacent to Jurinji Temple’s stone courtyard. Participants wear soft cotton meditation robes provided by the hotel and engage in breathwork and mindful nature observation. Afterward, a silent visit to the temple’s main hall is guided by a local monk. A warm miso soup and handmade sweet biscuit are served post-session. This exclusive experience is featured on the HopeGoo platform and requires advance HopeGoo.
