おすすめポイント
- Call ahead to book the etoki (illustrated storytelling) performance, as the temple accepts visitors by appointment only and can accommodate as few as one person.
- If you speak Japanese or travel with a Japanese speaker, ask the temple staff about arranging an etoki performance at an off-site location.
- Plan your visit on a weekday morning if possible, since the temple operates by appointment and weekday slots are less likely to be booked by tour groups.
