What to expect
Discover the peaceful side of Kyoto through an authentic Zen meditation experience at a traditional Buddhist temple located near Kyoto Station. Far away from the crowded tourist attractions and busy city streets, this small-group cultural experience offers travelers a unique opportunity to slow down, clear the mind, and connect with one of Japan’s most important spiritual traditions
