[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?
* Food that lets you experience a journey while learning about the background of the ingredients
The chef is particular about using ingredients from Zentsuji, and travels to the areas where the ingredients are produced, touching the soil, the grass, and the living creatures, so that he can pack the story of the ingredients into his dishes. The chef himself travels around the city and talks with the producers, and then he puts the stories he has drawn into the dishes, providing dishes that make customers feel like they are on a journey themselves.
The theme of the cuisine is "Shindo Fujitsu."
We are grateful for the bounty of the land we live on, take it all into our bodies, and use that life as a source to fulfill our mission. We express our gratitude for the time the ingredients have lived, and the time and lives of all the people involved in growing them and cooking them, through the form of "hospitality."
You will experience the uncompromising passion of our producers who approach nature with sincerity, and we offer an exceptional experience that appeals not only to the five senses, but to a sixth sense that transcends logic.
