What to expect

Experience private Zen meditation at a 400-year-old hidden temple in Asakusa, Tokyo. While Zen is famous worldwide, authentic English-guided sessions are rare in Japan.

This temple is closed to the public, but our exclusive partnership offers you a private session with a resident monk. You will learn the history of Zen, receive personal instruction on Zazen (seated meditation), and practice techniques to unify your mind and detach from worldly ego.

Following meditation, enjoy a traditional matcha tea ceremony and a relaxed conversation with the monk. You are also welcome to take photos throughout the temple to capture these unique memories.
