What you can expect

Experience Zen meditation at a hidden temple in Asakusa, Tokyo, with a history spanning over 400 years. Foster a deep connection with a monk, learn the secrets of Zazen practice, and participate in a matcha tea ceremony.

Step into a temple that is not open to the general public for an authentic experience accompanied by a guide. Learn briefly about Japanese culture and Zen. Then, listen to a lecture from a monk on the principles and techniques of Zazen (seated meditation), and get the opportunity to practice.

Unify your mind, confront yourself, and detach from ego and worldly concerns. Finally, experience a matcha tea ceremony and engage in a free talk with the monk. You can also capture photographs with the monk and within the temple, creating memories for a lifetime.
