“The Third Installment of the ‘Strait-Laced Series’: The Monk Edition”

Ryosen-ji, a Zen (Soto) temple located in Kyoto.
There resides a single, noble head priest.
His name is Ryozen.
Upright and pure, with handsome features, this young abbot, who has walked the Buddhist path for nine years, tirelessly upholds the teachings of Buddhism and dedicates himself to Zen at the temple inherited from his father.
Especially when it comes to love, he strictly disciplines himself.

Indeed, nothing has ever stirred his heart—until now.

The temple offers daily sutra-copying and zazen meditation sessions by reservation (limited to one group of two per day), and also opens its lodging facilities to the public.
Accommodation only or breakfast included: 6,000 yen
One night with two meals: 8,000 yen
