What you'll do
Join us for a unique experience at a Zen temple in Kyoto. This special tour combines Zen meditation with a guided garden tour. Enjoy a delicious lunch at the temple, and take home a deeper understanding of Zen philosophy and its connection to nature.
Tour Highlight
When you think of Zen, what comes to mind? Before we begin our Zen meditation experience, a local guide will lead us to a serene garden where we can immerse ourselves in the essence of Zen.
Tofukuji Zen Temple, one of the five Great Zen Temples in Kyoto, is our next destination. This temple boasts a rich history, serving as a residence and Zen practice site for monks since the 13th century.
Following our exploration of Tofukuji Temple, we will proceed to a smaller temple within the complex dedicated to zazen practice. Here, we will have the opportunity to experience the tranquility and mindfulness of Zen meditation.
