Experience Zen meditation at a hidden temple in Kyoto. While Zen is globally renowned and recognised, there are few places in Japan where you can have the best Zen experience with English tour guide support.
This temple is not open to the general public, and you can enjoy hidden atmosphere of the temple and authentic zen experience,
Enjoy a private Zen experience, fostering a connection with the monk. Meet at the temple, where you'll learn briefly about Japanese culture and Zen.
Following that, a monk will personally lecture on the principles and techniques of Zazen (seated meditation), and you'll have the opportunity to practice. Unify your mind, confront yourself, and detach from ego and worldly concerns. After zen experience, you will get the opportunity to enjoy watching beautiful traditional garden, which will make you forget hustle and bustle of the daily life.
Capture photographs with the monk and within the temple, creating lasting memories for a lifetime.

A Truly Unique and Highlight Experience

5.00This activity booked through Klook was an absolute highlight of my trip. It offered a rare chance to visit a temple not normally accessible to the public and participate in a meditation session led by a genuinely serene and positive monk. The monk skillfully wove Buddhist philosophy into practical guidance, making the meditation both insightful and experiential. The atmosphere was deeply peaceful. It felt like an authentic practice rather than a tourist show; I believe locals would also appreciate its value. Beyond the meditation, we gained an introduction to Japanese tea ceremony and had the privilege of touring the temple's historic buildings and tranquil gardens. The whole experience was beautifully rounded. A special note for families: my child participated and found the meditation a helpful practice for learning focus and calm. We are both grateful. I highly recommend this exceptional and profound experience.
