A wellness retreat through a premium cultural experience at the World Heritage Site, Enryakuji Temple

Sutra Offering at the Normally Inaccessible Hokkesoji-in East Pagoda A rare opportunity to offer your hand-copied sutra in the sacred Hokkesoji-in East Pagoda, which is not normally open to the public. Placing your handwritten scripture in this solemn setting will leave a deep and lasting impression on your journey, and offer a profound connection to Buddhist culture.
The completed sutras will be offered at the Hokkesoji-in East Pagoda. This sacred structure plays a central role in preserving the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, the core doctrine of Enryakuji Temple, and serves as the heart of Hieizan’s unique tradition of “Sutra Offering.” Normally closed to the public, the East Pagoda is a protected space where monks conduct sacred rituals and sutra offerings. Access for general visitors is extremely rare, making this truly a “special opening” of a deeply spiritual site.
Shojin Ryori Featuring Next-Generation Protein “Mycoprotein” Enjoy shojin ryori (traditional Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) enhanced with mycoprotein, a next-generation sustainable protein. Each dish is a fusion of time-honored techniques and innovative ingredients, served in the serene atmosphere of Mount Hiei—offering a nourishing experience for both body and soul.
At Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine, with its rich history of Shinto-Buddhist syncretism, you will be treated to a special live performance of Gagaku—Japan’s traditional court music. This enchanting moment, woven from sacred sounds and a solemn atmosphere, will be a moving finale to your journey.
