Temple lodging (fee-based)
LodgingPilgrimage
Shukubō (宿坊) are ryokan-style lodgings operated by a Buddhist temple. This form of pilgrimage accommodation emerged during the Heian period and is the historical ancestor of the modern ryokan.
Advance booking is required. Usually guests book a night with two meals (dinner and breakfast), though room-only stays are occasionally possible. Dinners are typically served quite early (6:00 PM–6:30 PM).
