Shukubo
Japanese Buddhist lodging / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A shukubo (宿坊) is a temple lodging in Japan that allows visitors to stay overnight within a Buddhist temple.[1] Originally, these facilities were designed to accommodate only monks and worshippers, but nowadays, in response to declining numbers of monk visitors, most facilities accept general tourists.[2] Some temples, such as Mount Kōya, have open-air baths with onsen.[3] Shukubo are now considered semi-secularized and in many towns are the only accommodations available.[3]
