Eiheiji visit and six days of meditation

[Bhikkhu Dharmapriya]

I want to visit Daihonzan Eiheiji Temple for 6 days of meditation and a 2-day visit. My visit dates are 2026/02/21 to 2026/02/27. Now I need a permission itinerary, a program schedule, and an invitation letter. I hope you can help me with my trip in 2026.

Thank You.
