Eiheiji Hakujukan: A temple lodging and upscale Japanese inn hybrid, Hakujukan was opened in front of Eiheiji, the renowned Zen temple founded in 1244. Deep in the mountains of Fukui Prefecture in the Hokuriku region of Japan, over one hundred monks still maintain a monastic lifestyle and practice Zen at Eiheiji. Hakujukan was developed for guests to experience the world of Zen from the comfort of an upscale hotel, and with the help of a designated Zen concierge. Its restaurant serves "shojin ryori" (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) in addition to other dishes. Hakujukan's Japanese-style architecture was built with precious 700-year old Eiheiji cedar cut from the temple's forest, adding another layer of serenity.
