Historic Buddhist Monastery
Nestled in the emerald hills of Yamanashi, Minobu Buddhist Monastery invites you into a world shaped by 750 years of quiet devotion.
Just hours from Tokyo, this sacred sanctuary – watched over by Mt. Minobu – offers more than silence; it offers depth. Walk temple paths lined with centuries of history, participate in quiet rituals and savour “shojin ryori”, a spiritual cuisine of refined simplicity. Here, every breath is a step closer to understanding.
Minobu is also home to artisans and performers, providing visitors a unique opportunity to engage with Japan’s traditional crafts and spiritual legacy in a deeply meaningful way.
