Sokujoin Overview

 

Dining out at Sokujo-in, the sub-temple of Sennyu-ji Temple.

The main image of Amida Nyorai and the 25 Bodhisattvas, which has a history of 1,000 years since the Heian period and is an important cultural property of the country, comes from the fact that many bodhisattvas hold musical instruments in their hands.

It is called the Buddha's Orchestra, and the inner sanctum is a special space that is called the ``Pure Land of this World'' where you can experience the only paradise in this world.

This is also a temple associated with Yoichi Nasu, who is famous for shooting down a fan target on a ship at the Battle of Yashima during the Genpei War.

It is a temple where many people visit to pray because their wishes reach their targets.

 

Every year, representatives of many companies come to receive special prayers for listing, and almost all of them are listed.

​

Normally, it is completely referral-based, and you cannot receive it unless you are a member of the Sokuseiin Preservation Society.

This time, we can also offer special prayers to those who wish. (Extra charge)

​

And finally, it's time to dine out. This time, a special bridge will be installed on the grounds that will lead you to the Pure Land of Paradise.

There, we held a Japanese-style fashion show featuring a Bodhisattva wearing gold brocade costumes and models wearing costumes that have been around since the Heian period.

We would like to celebrate this event with the hospitality of the geisha and geishas.

On this day, become a Heian period aristocrat and enjoy the time and space of the paradise of this world, the Pure Land of this world.
