Private Zen Sutra Copying Experience at Chikurin-ji Temple

At Godaisan Observation Deck, begin your experience with peaceful panoramic views over Kochi City, the surrounding mountains, and the Pacific Ocean on clear days. This introductory stop offers a quiet moment to slow down, breathe, and prepare for the Zen sutra-copying practice at Chikurin-ji Temple.

At Chikurin-ji Temple, practice traditional sutra copying in a quiet temple setting and experience a meditative Buddhist ritual preserved for centuries. Using brush and ink, participants carefully copy Buddhist scriptures as a form of mindful concentration. This private guided experience invites guests to slow down, focus the mind, and engage with Japanese Buddhist culture in a respectful and meaningful way.

Return to Godaisan Observation Deck after your Zen practice for a reflective closing moment. Revisit the same panoramic view and experience how the landscape may feel different through a calmer, more mindful perspective.
