[도쿄] Tokyo: Morning Zen Meditation with a Monk and Tea Ceremony

• Unlike typical sightseeing, this early-morning experience offers a rare chance to learn directly from a Buddhist monk about the deeper meaning of Zen and Japanese religious culture.
• You'll begin your day with a peaceful Zazen (seated meditation) session, guided step-by-step by a Japanese monk. As the morning light gently fills the temple, discover the power of posture, breath, and stillness to calm your mind and center yourself.
• After meditation, enjoy freshly prepared matcha tea and traditional Japanese sweets in a quiet, tranquil setting. This moment of hospitality is not only delicious but also a reflection of deep-rooted Japanese culture.
• The highlight? A one-on-one conversation with the monk. Ask questions, reflect on your experience, and gain personal insights into Zen philosophy and how it can bring clarity and balance to your daily life.
• This is more than just meditation—it’s a cultural exchange and a refreshing morning journey into the spiritual heart of Japan.

The gate is famous for its large red lantern hanging in the center, making it a popular photo spot for visitors.
