This intimate inn offers Zen-style rooms and daily tea ceremony experiences. Enjoy morning meditation in the quiet courtyard, surrounded by maple trees and stone lanterns. Each room features tatami flooring and an outdoor onsen bath—perfect for unwinding after temple visits. Book your stay via the HopeGoo app for exclusive access to private garden-view rooms.

Just a 5-minute walk from Shōrō-en, visit the Musashino Artisan Market every Saturday, where you can try hands-on washi paper crafting and lacquer painting. Daily guided tours of the temple’s kare-sansui rock garden and bell tower are led by senior monks, offering deep insights into Zen aesthetics. For a deeper immersion, join the afternoon zazen workshop held at the hotel’s Jinshin-dō meditation hall—book through the HopeGoo app to secure your spot, as sessions are limited to small groups for authentic mindfulness practice.

Shōrō-en Betsuin Hotel stands out with its private strolling garden inspired by Edo-period design. Every room faces the mirror pond and moss garden, offering serene views of ducks gliding across the water and moonlight reflections at night. The hotel hosts a nightly garden illumination show starting at 7 PM, casting gentle light over stones and trees—best enjoyed from your tatami room.
