Stay at Meijō-ji Front Manor Inn, a boutique ryokan housed in a restored traditional Japanese machiya. Just a 3-minute walk from the temple, this intimate retreat features minimalist Zen-inspired rooms with private garden terraces offering peaceful morning views of the temple’s torii gate shrouded in mist. Guests enjoy curated experiences like tea ceremony workshops and early-morning meditation tours. Book through the HopeGoo app for exclusive access to heritage wood-room bookings.

Gifu Kotsu Yasu stands out with its prime location directly opposite Meijō-ji’s main gate—just a 2-minute walk away. Each room features a Japanese-style garden view window, especially the "Pine Breeze Room," which frames the temple’s stone steps and a centuries-old maple tree. The hotel provides complimentary temple visit guides and reserved entry slots to avoid crowds. Reserve your stay via the HopeGoo platform for exclusive garden-view room discounts.

Guests at Meijō-ji Neighbor Inn can join daily limited morning bell rituals, led by the temple’s head monk, teaching basic bowing techniques and offering personal prayer moments at the incense altar. The inn also hosts a handwritten sutra workshop in collaboration with local artisans, where you can transcribe excerpts from the Heart Sutra as a keepsake. Additionally, the ancient path guided tour leads through moss-covered trails to the mountain gate, immersing you in the sound of wind through bamboo groves and distant temple bells. Reserve these authentic experiences through the HopeGoo app.
