A historical temple which has a beautiful Japanese garden
A place where you can experience Zen training
Kasuisai is located close to Fukuroi interchange on Tomei highway and has 600 years of history, named by the shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa. It is the best place for Zen training and ordinary people can also experience professional Zazen(sitting in Zen meditation) trial.
Zazen is used to calm down the human instinct, which is influenced by various values. Why don't you experience and feel the real presence of mind separate from the daily bustle of your life?

Kasuisai is attractive not only for its solemn atmosphere surrounded by nature, but also for each of its halls. You will be captivated by the colors of flowers in each season painted at Zuiryukaku. You also have to see the Japanese garden which changes its look from season to season. Dai-Tosu in which there is a statue of a noble character in the center is worth a look as well. ※Tosu means the lavatory
Let's feel all four seasons through the five senses and find the real/new you at Kasuisai, a place where you can experience extraordinary scenery and events.
