Ikkyu-ji is remote from central Kyoto but quieter, and worth the trip if you’re interested in the iconoclastic folk-hero monk that founded it.
The form above signs you up for email newsletters and post notifications. Note that the default for post frequency is "Single Emails." We prefer that one as we can send you fulltext articles if it's a post type that supports it. If you sign up for multiple content areas and a "digest" frequency, you'll get a separate digest for every content area you check off, if we've published new content during that time period. Currently, "events" is only a monthly digest.
We send links to change your preferences or unsubscribe in every email we send.
