Kyoto shukubo
Posted: Sun February 17, 2008 07:02 PM UTC
I am looking for Shukubo within close distance to Kyoto or Nara that does not object to americans,we plan to learn whatever we can so as not to offend by our ignorance. We really want to experience the prayers & meditations as well as shojin ryori.
Because of our itinerary;(we have one day available before we go to Nara -for one night- via Kyoto, and then back to Kyoto for a few nights before returning to Tokyo)
Nara would be best but I cannot find mention of any temples offering shukubo either in Nara (or Uji, I don't know other areas between to search)
In Koyoto I've found only names of a few places but no real information, reviews or contact details.
I find copious amounts of information about Koyasan- However, we don't really have enough time to make it worthwile.

I think you should reconsider Koyasan. It is amazing up there and the temple longings are great!! It is not that hard to get there. We went there from Nara and it doesnt take long at all. It is also real easy to get there from Kyoto, only like 2 hours away on the limited express trains.

Have a great trip whatever you choose!
