Hatsukari: Zuigakuin - Zen Buddhist Center for International Exchange

Soto temple founded in 1978 by Zen Master Daigyo Moriyama. Unique in two aspects. First- in its intention of reestablishing a way of practice as Zen Master Dogen has pointed it out in the 13th century. Second- in its attempt to provide access to foreign Zen students. The temple is located deep in the mountains. There is no electricity and telephone.
