How to Book
(Updated on 15 March 2025)
The men's and women's accommodations are located separately in the monastery, so bookings are also made separately. Please note that we are unable to guarantee single rooms for any guests.​​
Male Guests
​
Male guest stays are currently available for a three-night minimum duration. In order to reduce the number of cancelled reservations, we do not accept booking requests more than two months in advance. For example, if you would like to request a stay beginning on August 10, please submit your request on or after June 10.
Female Guests​
For the time of our silent 3-month winter retreat (January to March), we have invited a lay support team and can’t book any new guests.
If conditions permit, we will be open to new guests next April. The minimum stay policy might be revised depending on situations then.
If you are interested to visit between April and September 2025, please write again from April onwards. We are not able to consider any applications which have come in before that.
