Descripción
Hello, Workawayers!
This is a Zen temple with over 400 years of history.
While rooted in tradition, we also embrace modern culture and creativity. Inside the temple grounds, you’ll find a café space, a well-designed sound and lighting system, and even a thrift shop — making this a truly unique place.
We host a variety of events where you can step away from everyday life and enter a dreamlike, surreal atmosphere. Everyone is welcome to join. We’re always working on new projects and would love to hear your creative ideas and perspectives.
Right now, we’re renovating some of the buildings within the temple grounds, working on garden design, and creating new spaces for performances and gatherings. Your help and involvement would be greatly appreciated.
(*Please note: we are a non-profit space, and all events are run on a donation basis.)
About us
The head priest is also a DJ, and his younger brother is a performer. Through diverse expressions and activities, we hope to explore new possibilities for what a temple can be.
