Recently, I paid a visit to Monk Bar in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Yes, you read it right. There is a bar run by ️some Buddhist monks.

On that day, for another event, I was meeting three kimono friends, one of whom is a Christian. I asked them in advance, “Would anyone like to join me at Monk Bar later in the evening?” They all answered, “Count me in!”

When we visited it, we loved the whole experience. So I am thrilled to share it here, so that you can virtually enjoy it with us, and hopefully learn a few facts about Japanese Buddhism. Gasshō🙏

Let’s dive into the fantastic monk world
