Kyoto temple collaborates with a real estate company to open an integrated hotel on the premises September 15 18:51
A temple in Kyoto City has collaborated with a real estate company to open a hotel on the temple grounds.
As the number of Danya decreases, the aim is to achieve both temple maintenance and regional development.
The Jodo-shu Jodo-shu Temple in Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto, will open a hotel on the temple grounds on the 28th of this month in collaboration with Mitsui Fudosan, and was opened to the press on the 15th.
The hotel building has 9 floors above ground and 1 floor below ground, and the interior of the main hall, which was built in the late Edo period about 190 years ago, was incorporated into the building.
In addition to setting up an accommodation plan to chant sutras with the monks in the morning, the hotel has a washbasin with a lantern motif and lighting in the shape of a lantern to express a sense of unity with the temple. I will.
Jyokyoji decided to collaborate with a real estate company in order to leave the inside of the dilapidated main hall to posterity without asking the declining Dan family to bear the burden.
The aim is to achieve both temple maintenance and regional development.
Kouki Mitsuyama, chief priest of Jyokyoji, said, "It is difficult to live alone at the temple, so I chose to regenerate it at a hotel because of the nature of the land. Regeneration is a difficult task, but I want it to be an opportunity for people to think about something else." I'm talking.
