What you can expect

Immerse yourself in Zen meditation at a hidden temple in Kyoto. Foster a deep connection with a monk, learn the secrets of Zazen practice, and gain a deeper appreciation for Japanese culture.

Step into a temple that is not open to the general public for an authentic experience accompanied by a guide. Learn briefly about Japanese culture and Zen. Then, listen to a lecture from a monk on the principles and techniques of Zazen (seated meditation), and get the opportunity to practice.

Unify your mind, confront yourself, and detach from ego and worldly concerns. Finally, drink tea while enjoying a view of the temple gardens. You can also capture photographs with the monk and within the temple, creating memories for a lifetime.
