(Switch to "Kaiseki-Ryori," a traditional Japanese course dinner with fish ingredients, if preferred.) Wrap up the night by checking out the beautiful view of Nara city from the temple terrace.

Every day in the early hours of the morning, temple monks pray for the people and devote themselves to ascetic training.
