On April 1, 2026, Temple Stay Co., Ltd. was established. Headquarters: Takamatsu, Kagawa. Representative Director: Kotaro Shimizu.
Our starting point is the revival of shukubo — the temple lodgings of the Shikoku pilgrimage. Where Shikoku once held around 60, today only seven remain.
We rebuild shukubo from isolated single-temple operations into a connected network, and open them to the world. Within 2026, Phase 1 begins: a three-temple proof in Shikoku, starting at Anrakuji — the 6th of the Shikoku 88 — in Kamiita, Tokushima.
Progress, hiring, and partnership updates will appear on News and Journal.
