[A customized experiential museum for the entire town]
Zentsuji City, Kagawa Prefecture, is the birthplace of Kobo Daishi Kukai, a great figure in the world of Japanese Buddhism known to all Japanese people. Born 1,250 years ago, Kukai trained and attained enlightenment in the magnificent natural surroundings of his hometown, Shikoku. Even now, more than 1,200 years after his days of activity, many worshippers who admire Kukai visit from all over the world and follow the pilgrimage route he left behind.
At the five temples in Zentsuji City associated with Kukai, we offer experiential content that allows you to confront yourself and hone your five senses with the themes of Mandala Temple (touch), Deshakka Temple (sight), Koyama Temple (hearing), Zentsuji (taste), and Kanakura Temple (smell).
In the city, where the culture of "Osentai," where local residents show hospitality to pilgrims, is deeply rooted, we offer experiences such as enjoying the region's traditional crafts and local cuisine.
Zentsuji City is a place where nature and faith are close at hand and you can get a glimpse of simple, everyday life; the entire city is truly an experiential museum!
Why not experience authentic Japan while experiencing the culture that has been cherished and nurtured by people since ancient times?

Japanese cuisine, registered as a UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage, is loved around the world as a representative of Japanese culture, with a variety of facets, including delicate cooking methods for fresh and fresh ingredients, nutritional balance that is said to be excellent health food, and artistic expression that expresses the seasons and events. Kaiseki cuisine, in particular, is a rare and delicate and beautiful dish that condenses the essence of Japanese cuisine and elevates it to the level of art. Dishes tailored to the season and celebratory occasions are served in a single dish, single bowl, or in the form of a full Japanese course.
