Visitors should phone beforehand, especially for an overnight stay. There are three guesthouses that can accomodate up to 50 overnight guests at one time, and a separate clergy guesthouse. The guestmaster will conduct a brief tour of the monastery and provide information about facilities, schedule of services, etc.
