How are the figures of 100k yen per night rental and 50% occupancy rate derived?
There is a temple named "Daitaiji" that offers temple stays and is managed by the same chief priest as our temple, Ryogonji. You can watch a video of him discussing the project here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ9IuhDRbag
Daitaiji is located approximately 30 minutes by car from Ryogonji. It maintains an average yearly occupancy rate of 67%, and charges about 15,000 yen per person. If the entire temple is rented out, the fee is 150,000 yen. Thus, estimating a nightly rate of 100,000 yen and a 50% occupancy rate for Ryogonji is quite reasonable based on these figures.
