The Experience
Meditation Experience This is an experience of meditation and eating medicinal at Fukushoji Temple, a 400-year-old mountain temple. Meditation is effective in reducing stress and regulating the mind and body by focusing on breathing and calming the mind. Female monks will guide you gently and carefully, so even first-time meditators will feel at ease. After the meditation experience, a medicinal herbal meal will be served. You will also have a chance to try "eating meditation," which is practiced during meals.
Fukuchiyama Local Sake Brewery Fukuchiyama's climate, with its cold temperatures, high-quality water, and rice, is ideal for sake brewing. Founded in 1717, Towa Sake Brewery is the only remaining sake brewery in Fukuchiyama, with over 300 years of history. The brewery's dedication to Fukuchiyama's water, rice, air, people, and traditional production methods has attracted attention from sake fans both locally and nationwide.
Fukuchiyama Castle Park Built in the early Edo period, Fukuchiyama Castle holds historical importance. The castle grounds feature important cultural properties and a museum displaying historical artifacts. Visiting allows for a deeper understanding of the region's history and culture. The castle is conveniently located in the city center, making it easily accessible. Numerous restaurants and other attractions nearby enhance the overall experience for tourists.
Adachi Otoemon Adachi Otoemon, with its main store near Fukuchiyama Castle, is popular for its baked sweets using chestnuts. The "Tanba Chestnut Cake" is available only at the main store in Kyoto.
