What do you think of when you think of souvenirs from Lake Hamana?

Lake Hamana is a lake that straddles Hamamatsu City and Kosai City, Shizuoka Prefecture. It is a brackish lake with a mixture of seawater and freshwater, as it is connected to the Enshu Sea by a cutaway.

Because it is a brackish water lake, it is packed with nutrients and is extremely rich in fish and other creatures!

That’s why many people may have heard, “The seafood in the Lake Hamana area is delicious!”

At Toda-ji Zudaj in Minami Ward, Hamamatsu City, we hold a sutra copying experience class, one of the Buddhist experience classes, on the 8th and 21st of every month.

Anyone can participate in the sutra copying experience class, and the sutra copying paper with drafts and calligraphy pens will be provided by Zudaji Temple, so even those who are interested but find the hurdles too high can participate with confidence.

The completed copy of the sutra can be dedicated. Of course, you can also take it home.

This time, we will introduce you to the steps to experience sutra copying at Zudaji Temple, recommended clothing, and other highlights of the temple grounds!
