By touring Daisho-in, the oldest Buddhist temple in the area, you will have a special opportunity to feel the depth of Miyajima and Japanese spiritual culture. This trip is based on the sacred Buddhist teachings of the Six Paramitas, which help people live better lives. The experience, amid the natural beauty of Miyajima and the tranquil atmosphere of Daisho-in, will give visitors a taste of Japanese spiritual culture and a memory of a deep journey. The journey to explore Miyajima more deeply begins at Daisho-in Temple. Passing through the quiet gates of Daisho-in Temple, your journey of introspection begins as you surrender your mind to the sound of the drums during prayers and the melody of the sutras. Walking around the ordination platform in the dark is a rare experience of reexamining yourself in an invisible world. Once you leave, meditation awaits you in a place overlooking Miyajima. Feeling the primordial nature close at hand will deepen your inner tranquility. Next, you will feel the eternal time in front of the Henjo Cave, a fire that has been burning for 1,200 years, and your mind will become even more at peace as you burn incense. Emptying your mind and cleaning the Japanese garden is also an act of purifying your inner self. Drinking matcha tea in the cleansed garden will infuse your heart with that refreshing feeling. And at the end of the trip, sharing what you felt during the day with the locals living in Miyajima will create a warmth and bond that will stay in your heart. Interacting with local guides who moved to Miyajima because they were attracted to the island will add color to your trip. So, open your heart and mind to this journey and let us walk together on the path to inner peace.
