We’re staying at a Shukubo, which is a lodging inside a temple. Sanrakuso is located in the mountains of Mt Daisen in Shimane prefecture. We’ll experience Shojin Ryori, which is a type of vegetarian cuisine traditionally served at Japanese Buddhist temples.
We also wake up to a session of meditation called Zazen, as well as a vegetarian breakfast served to us by the chief priest of the temple.
More videos on our visit to the Sanin region.

have you two ever seen any yakuza or does tokyo vice blow it out of proportion?
Love love love the video! Please make more of these temple trip videos.
This video is so peaceful, I enjoyed it so much! Thank you!!!
Liked the video. Nice video quality and editing.
I stayed at Koya-san 6 years ago. It was one of my favourite experiences in Japan. I must go back there.
Excellent wonderful video!!!!!!!!!! ❤️
wow, watching you get slapped on the back during the meditation made me wonder if there is really something primal about calming a baby or young child by rubbing their back… I sometimes ask my husband to "drum" on my back when I get anxious or feel strange, and it makes me feel better instantly! this is fascinating stuff, thanks for sharing. And the food looks wonderful too as always.
I've eaten at a temple before, it was a bit less fancy than yours, it was much less ryokan-like and much more traditional and communal. But the vegetarian meal was lovely and actually one of my favorites on my entire trip.
Ooh, gimme some of that food!
This takes me back to a time when I got to eat at a small inn in a mountainous region in Japan! The woman who ran the inn cooked a variety of dishes for us that looked very similar to some of the dishes you all ate here! One thing she cooked was tempura "weeds" from her garden! Some of them looked like the seri, so maybe there was some of that in there that she just called "weeds," but I do think some were just run of the mill garden overgrowth that she 100% cooked up for us… There were also beans that looked like those in the takiawase you two ate, prepared in what appears to be a similar way by my memory, as well as some takikomi gohan that looked a lot like the daisen takikomi gohan you two ate… So. Much. Great. Food – lots of it that you don't necessarily see being featured by foreigners in Japan. Thanks for taking us to places like this! I'm so glad this channel exists! Thanks for sharing great food and interesting places
Thank you so much…💚
The one you called "kogomi" at 13:23 looks like it might be a fiddlehead? A young fern shoot, before it unrolls. Great video, thank you for showing the experience.
Nice food and good stay vacation
Thank you so much for showcasing shojin ryori, this is definitely the kind of food we should all be eating more of! It’s local, vegetarian and healthy so it’s not only good for you, it’s also good for the planet! 🤩
It's like the Alps up here !
Absolutely incredible video and atmosphere of the moment. The sound the camera work the attention to the experience is exquisite. If I wasn't disabled I would pick up and go for this moment. I love the Buddhist tradition and culture. I love you guys. Thank you for giving me a experience I otherwise will most likely never have.
✍(◔◡◔) OMGosh, i was like Mmmm along with you both, i follow Buddhist Ladies in Japan & what they cook for new ideas. As a Vegan i didn't see anything i wouldn't eat, loved the Tempeh vegetables, really interesting. I really Love Buddhism & Meditation but the shoulder tapping, not seen this before in Zen practice. You were both totally spoiled for breakfast, i am hungry now lol. I hope You both do more Vegetarian/Vegan foods. Thank You for posting, new subscriber here. (>‿◠)✌
How much does it cost to stay at one of these? Just curious.
Excellent visual recording of Daisen Shōjin Ryōri/Japanese Buddhist based vegetarian cuisine at Sanrakusō. Perhaps researching and inquiring about the ingredients and techniques from the chefs as well as finding a more precise, appropriate vocabulary to describe the flavours, textures, aroma, etc. may be more helpful than such comments as interesting, delicious, Oishī. Great introduction to a very specific regional Japanese cuisine.
Catching up on your videos. Thank you so much for them!
Japan is the best country in the world ❤️ so beautiful
What a nice experience. Thank you for sharing. Love all the vegetarian dishes and your meditation session.
You both look very relaxed and peaceful after your time at the temple. I hope you can go there again.
I know these meals must be healthy but I wouldnt eat anything
Everything looks so delicious and well prepared. I bet they serve different stuff every time, can't wait to travel to Japan again
