Experience a private, authentic Zen meditation at a secluded, hidden temple in Kyoto—the spiritual heart of Japan. While Zen is famous worldwide, exclusive English-guided sessions inside a sacred temple closed to the general public are incredibly rare. Guided by a resident monk, you will learn the history of Zen, receive personal instruction on Zazen (seated meditation), and practice techniques to quiet your mind, release daily stress, and find inner peace. Following your meditation, enjoy a traditional matcha tea ceremony while gazing out at the temple’s private, picturesque gardens. Conclude your journey with a relaxed, intimate conversation with the monk, and capture unforgettable memories with photos inside this beautiful, secret sanctuary.
