I visited on Buddha’s birthday! I wanted to get a light, so I inquired. I was told that all the cheap ones for one year were sold out and only the big one was left. When I asked how much it was, they said it was 2 million won. ㅠㅠ Hmm... In the end, I couldn't do anything and just prayed and came down.

A time that could only be for me. I was able to free myself from suffering and think, ‘I just don’t know’ and ‘What am I?’ The answer has not yet been found, but the long journey to find the answer may have begun at Hwagyesa Temple. I would like to visit again when the weather gets colder. Stay healthy everyone.

The fried rice was delicious and everything was good, but I was very disappointed that the schedule was not accurate. It is no exaggeration to say that I came especially for the tea time with the monks, but although the timetable said it was held at 6 o'clock on the first day, it was actually held at 9 o'clock on the second day, which was difficult. They say they explained it the day before, but considering that not only I but others couldn't hear the explanation properly and wandered around together, I don't think it was clearly communicated. Anyway, in the end, I was not in the room at that time, so I missed the tea time and went home. I wanted to hear good words for a long time, but it's too bad. The office's response was also disappointing. At first, they said they thought I hadn't checked and apologized for the incorrect information, but they didn't take any action other than saying they were sorry because tea time was already over. Please check the schedule in advance and provide clear notice to prevent the same case from happening again in the future.

There is a cafe and souvenir shop within the temple, and there are various types of Buddhist bracelets and amulet cards that are great for browsing and would be great as a light gift!! There are mainly various bracelets according to the zodiac signs.

I had a great time with my daughter. It was a moment of healing from everyday life, and I had a great time listening to Monk Hyeryang's words and taking meditation classes. My daughter in elementary school said she liked it and asked to come again. ^^ I recommend Hwagyesa Temple Stay.

It was my first time going with a friend and we had a great time!! I really liked that the food was delicious, the room was nice, and the schedule was free. Everyone was very friendly haha. But I went there too late for the snack provided in the evening and there was nothing else other than bananas. I should have taken one per person ㅠㅠㅠㅠ I was disappointed when I came down at night, but... the bananas were fresh, healthy and delicious haha. I recommend it if you are wondering where to go for a temple stay!!

I was very happy for 2 days and 1 night. I'll come back when I want to run away from reality! (My rice is so delicious...) I really enjoyed stringing 108 beads and 108 beads during the program. The tea chat with the monk on the last day was great! The staff are also friendly❤️👍🏻👍🏻 (I went alone, but I made a temple friend. I really recommend it.)
