கியோட்டோ ஜென் தியானம் மற்றும் ஜென் கோவிலில் தோட்டச் சுற்றுப்பயணம்

எங்கள் வழிகாட்டி யுகா, தகவல்களைத் தருபவராகவும், நகைச்சுவையாகவும், விருந்தோம்பல் குணம் கொண்டவராகவும் இருந்தார். அவர் இந்த முழு பயணத்தையும் சிறப்பாக மாற்றினார்! நாங்கள் கோவில்களுக்குச் சென்றோம் (ஒரு உள்ளூர் சந்தையால் திசைதிருப்பப்பட்டோம்) பின்னர் தியானத்திற்குச் சென்று மதிய உணவு உண்டோம். மொத்தத்தில் இது ஒரு நல்ல நாளாகவும் அனுபவமாகவும் இருந்தது!

Yutaka was a fantastic tour guide, we had a memorable day visiting the temples & we learned lots along the way. He was full on interesting information and local knowledge. The temples were stunning and not too busy with other tourists. Lovely guided meditation session with a monk & a delicious vegan lunch to finish off the tour perfectly. We highly recommend this to anyone looking for an authentic experience.

The tour, guided by a kyoto local, was a great experience! I love the places and explanation of the philosophy behind everything, as Kyoto is a city rich with religious and unwritten culture. The meditate was great, it really helped me learn of what proper meditation feels like as well as helped clearing the mind for the day.

투어해주시는 에리씨도 너무 밝고 친절하셨어요! 설명도 친절하고 꼼꼼히 해주셨고, 일본어랑 영어 둘다 가능하세요 !! 그리고 실제로 갔던 절이랑 명상 수업도 유익했어요. 강추합니당🥺❣️

導遊吉田非常盡責，很熱情地招待我們，亦在禪修時準備好適當的材料令我哋明白僧人的日語講解。東福寺每個寺都有自己特色，很適合細心慢步欣賞。

What a lovely experience! I highly recommend this tour with our guide Yutaka, a Kyoto local. He had a lot of knowledge to share of the temples as well as Japanese culture. He was very open and friendly. We were able to start the tour early and he was kind enough to show us an additional sub-temple so we could get a goshuin. The tour size was small, only 3 people, and it lasted until 3pm. It was a very relaxed pace including 20 minutes peaceful contemplating at a small temple, a history of Buddhism and meditation instruction. The meditation and lecture with the monk lasted an hour. The class is attended mostly by locals and is conducted in Japanese. However, the tour provided all information in an English booklet which made it easy to follow.

I joined the tour with Mr. Yutaka, which ended with a beautiful meditation session, and it was truly one of the highlights of my first trip to Japan. It was also my first time meditating, and I absolutely loved the experience — it’s definitely something I’m taking back home with me and plan to continue doing. Mr. Yutaka was incredibly knowledgeable, answering every question we had with patience and depth. He shared fascinating insights into Japanese culture and history related to the temples, gardens, and the Zen tradition, which made the whole experience even more meaningful. On top of that, he was very friendly, warm, and genuinely pleasant to spend time with. I felt comfortable and welcomed throughout the entire tour. I super recommend Mr. Yutaka as a guide, and I will definitely contact him again when I’m back in town!

My trip was guided by Eri, a very warm lady who took good care of us. She detaily introduced each garden with adequate amount of history for our information. And she's also so cheerful that made the tour so enjoyable. And for the Zen meditation guided by the monk, it was also a very calming experience that I never have in other places. And finally, the vegan meal was remarkable! Every dish is so exquisite, each of us enjoy that a lot.

十分推薦這個行程與來京都的朋友 特別感謝導遊Yutaka先生，他細心和解紹了整個行程，十分健談和有趣，從他身上學習了很多京都相關的知識 整個行程分為三個部分：第一個部分是遊歷寺園，能夠欣賞寺院的園景和相關歷史文化，以及背後帶有哲理的意思，在增添基礎知識外，增添更深的意義； 第二個部分是坐襌學習，跟著寺院僧侶學習坐襌，整個氛圍感覺令人放鬆和舒適，推薦首次體驗冥想的朋友參與； 第三部分是素食午餐，午餐內容非常美味，為整個旅程畫上完美的句號。 非常推薦來到京都，想體驗不一樣的地道文化的朋友！

If you ever want to experience something unique in Kyoto, this is a must-do activity. Learn about zen meditation and the history of Kyoto temples. The experience guide provides insight and unique experiences for the tour. And there’s a delicious vegetarian lunch provided.
