    Tips

    January 26, 2020

    This Buddhist retreat and meditation center is one of the three San Francisco Zen Center locations founded in the 1960s by Japanese master Suzuki Roshi. It is open to paid course participants and paying day guests from End of April to early September only. If you don't want to use the onsen hot spring bath house and center facilities, access to take a dip in the beautiful natural river upstream or downstream should be free of charge, though technically the trail passes across their land.
    The Day Use rate is $35 for adults and $15 for children, and does not include meals. The only available meal for purchase is lunch in the dining room and is available by reservation only. Lunch is served at 1:00 pm, and is $17.50 for adults and $13.50 for children. Day use visitors should pack food and snacks as there is no other food available for purchase. Be mindful of our wildlife by using secure containers that are easy to carry but difficult for critters to carry off or penetrate.
    Tassajara Bath House is available to day use visitors; bring towels. Pets are not allowed anywhere in and around the whole wilderness and the center. Reservations are required for day guests.
    Call no more than two weeks in advance to make a day visit reservation. 831-659-2229
