Nichi-nichi Sanpai
Nichi-nichi sanpai is the standard format for a visit to Saihoji.
After copying a sutra in the main hall, you will be free to walk around the garden.
First, quiet the mind by copying sutras, and then discover yourself in the Garden of Origins and Journeys. On each visit to Saihoji, we hope that you will experience the flow of time unique to that day.
In order to maintain the tranquility of the temple grounds, those wishing to visit must make a reservation at least one day in advance.
