Shownotes

Would you challenge yourself to work for half a year or more in a Buddhist temple? That's what filmmaker and  @Where Next Japan  founder Felicity Tillack decided to do in 2016. Her aims were to improve her Japanese and learn more about Japanese culture in one of Japan's most famous spiritual destinations, Koyasan.

Here Felicity shares insights from a 6-mos work term in Japan's most famous Koyasan where she worked in one of the local catering businesses making the famous Shojin-Ryori Buddhist vegan meals for visitors. Apparently that doesn't mean living there as a vegetarian is any easier than other parts of Japan.

This is a follow up conversation with Felicity Tillack who first appeared in Seek Sustainable Japan talkshow-podcast to talk about her Japanese Indie film: Impossible to Imagine and her short documentaries about people in Kyoto.
