Chikurinji Temple

Reviewed By DShinder1

This experience was hard to put into words. We were in Japan from America for two weeks of business and managed to squeak in some sight-seeing. About half that time was in Kochi, which was enchanting, to say the least. Our host surprised us with an arrangement of the temple monks giving us a private and personalized traditional prayer ceremony in the temple. They even allowed us to have it filmed. The experience was so ... I really don't have the words ... personal, I suppose, that we have yet to post the video. We travel the world and have never had an experience like this that brought us so close to another culture. My advice is simple: Go there. Do it. You will never forget it. We are looking forward to returning to experience Chikurinji Temple again soon! Dan Shinder CEO Drum Talk TV

Kotohira-gu Shrine

Reviewed By RYOKOSURU - Madrid, Spain

Absolutely amazing experience, the awesome shrine is well worth the effort to go all the way up the 785 stone steps to the top. The view is wonderful and the many stone lanterns and small shrines along the path create a mystic atmosphere.
