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.
