Shajiraku – Quality traditional food and cultural experiences at Kyoto shrines and temples.

Providing beautiful Japanese spaces for reservation

Temples and shrines are places where people can enjoy scenery that changes by the season. These locations replete with history and culture are no less than sacred ground for the Japanese. Privately enjoy such a temple or shrine with Shajiraku, the only service in Kyoto that provides such an opportunity.

About Shajiraku

Shajiraku offers private use of special spaces, not accessible to the public, in select Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. Experience with family or a small circle of friends the elegance of tradition, and hospitality featuring choice cuisine.
