@byjacklynn: Location at the end of the caption! This experience (this whole trip) has honestly been life changing. I’ve always wanted to stay at a Buddhist temple, but I imagined I would do so in Thailand or India - I never imagined that I’d end up at a temple on top of a mountain in Japan?! 🇯🇵 This trip made me fall in love with travelling again, and TRULY travelling. Experiencing a country through its people, traditions and living history. 📍Shojoshin-in, Koyasan #japan #historytok
I almost got spirited away up there. 10/10. Don't walk around for hours lost after 10pm.

Thank you for sharing this. I have been stuck in my negative-angry mood and thoughts all day. Just tired of being forced to participate in the American Hunger Games system, where you can never experience peace, or even joy, love, or authenticity for that matter. Watching this was soothing to my soul. Thank You❤️

I did this a decade ago and can honestly say the nights i slept on the monk’s floor were the best nights of sleep of my life.

When I was living in Nepal I went for a hike with a friend and a storm came in, we were by a temple and asked if we could shelter there. The monks fed us, gave us a room, brought us tea, let us pray and chant with them. We were there for most of a day. It was restful, quiet and so special. Ill never forget it

Considering your thoughtfulness and introspection, this seems like a great way to ground, observe and reorient. Hope you find what you seek!

I’m a practicing Muslim and I would stay in that temple and experience as they do. What a learning experience. I’m curious as to what their meals are, what the smell of the place is, the lovely garden you described, etc..

I retired after 57 years of working this past September. The Universe called me to go immediately to Japan. I stayed three months and it’s the most incredible thing I’ve ever done. I could name so many reasons why…there are MANY! But what I am left with most, what I think of and value MOST, are the people. The kindness, respectfulness, the efficient way they glide through their days, the honor, integrity and civility. I wept everyday from being touched by them. 🙏
