Gohan-shiki

強飯式(ごうはんしき)
Opening: The Gohan-shiki, unique to Nikko-san throughout the country, is a distinctive ceremony initiated by Shodo Shonin during the Nara period. This ceremony originated from the tradition of practitioners returning from mountain asceticism, sharing their offerings with the village people. Second Paragraph: Held at Nikkosan Rinnoji Temple, participants can experience the ceremony along with its historical context. In this place, where mountain faith remains strong, a unique religious atmosphere can be experienced. Third Paragraph: This event offers a valuable opportunity to touch on a part of Japan's ancient culture through participation in a limited traditional ceremony. Fourth Paragraph: It is recommended to walk through the beautiful natural scenery of Nikko and explore its historic temples during the ceremony, reflecting on oneself in the quietness. Forgetting the daily routine and immersing in the deep history and tradition will be a good memory of the trip.
