Overview
  • What comes to mind when you think of Zen?
  • Before engaging in Zen meditation, a local guide will lead you to a garden where you can immerse yourself in the essence of Zen.
  • "Zen" is an inherently esoteric Buddhist concept, even for the Japanese. While the word "Zen" may conjure thoughts of Zen meditation, this tour will initially guide you to a garden imbued with Zen principles. Amidst the tranquil setting of the Zen garden, a local guide will provide you with fundamental information on how to appreciate both the garden and the practice of Zen meditation."
  • Visit Tofukuji Zen Temple, one of the five Great Zen Temples in Kyoto, and partake in a Zen meditation experience.
  • We will then proceed to Tofukuji Temple, one of the five great Zen temples in Kyoto. Tofukuji boasts a rich history, serving as a residence and Zen practice site for monks since the 13th century.
  • Following this exploration, we will make our way to a smaller temple within Tofuku-ji dedicated to zazen practice.
