Templestay Japanについて
Templestay Japan is a curated resource dedicated to helping international travelers discover and book authentic Buddhist temple stays (shukubo) across Japan. We focus exclusively on temple lodging — no hotels, no hostels — because a shukubo stay is one of the most spiritual and unforgettable experiences Japan has to offer.
作った理由
Finding the right shukubo as a foreign traveler can be challenging. Many temple websites are only in Japanese, and it's difficult to know which welcome international guests, offer English-speaking monks, or accommodate dietary needs like shojin ryori. We bridge that gap.
私たちのアプローチ
Every temple is handpicked. We provide filters that matter to international travelers:
- English-friendly monks and staff
- Buddhist sect (Shingon, Soto Zen, Tendai, etc.)
- Zazen meditation and Goma fire ceremony availability
- Shojin ryori (vegetarian Buddhist cuisine)
- UNESCO World Heritage temples
予約
We partner with Stay22, Trip.com, Klook, and Viator. When you click a booking link, you're taken directly to the temple's reservation page to check availability. We may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

東京を拠点に、過去10年間にわたり日本各地の宿坊（仏教寺院での宿泊）を巡ってきた旅行者、Rioと申します。私自身が宿坊探しで英語情報の乏しさに苦労した経験から、Templestay Japanを立ち上げました。
本サイトで紹介する53の寺院のうち、18箇所には実際に宿泊しています。残りの寺院については、英語対応のあるスタッフへの取材と、Booking.comの実宿泊者レビューとの照合を経て掲載しています。
