Hokyoji invites your group to create your own event here in our beautiful natural setting. All the facilities are available to you to create your own schedule and activities. These facilities include a 750-square foot multi-purpose room, a commercial kitchen, meditation hall, and dormitories. There are also hiking trails on both the flat land of the valley, and through the surrounding hills. Use of AV equipment is also available, free of charge.

When you rent Hokyoji, your group has exclusive use of all buildings and facilities, along with the entire grounds including the walking trails. You will not be sharing with any other group.

If you wish, Hokyoji can also partner with you to create an event that focuses on mindful engagement with your group’s particular interest. As an example, the day may begin with mindfulness instruction and practice with our leadership, then move to activities led by you. After a simple vegetarian lunch and a break, we might lead a mindfulness walk along our scenic trails before returning for another activity session led by you. Then the day might close with dinner, meditation and teatime, during which participants can reflect on the day and share their insights. This is just one example of how the day could be structured. It would all be up to you. Mindfulness teachings are provided by Hokyoji staff at no additional cost to the rental.
