-Guided Zen meditation (Zazen) at temples

Zazen is a traditional form of seated meditation central to Zen Buddhism. Practiced in a quiet, serene environment.

The focus is on the breath, cultivating a deep sense of presence in the moment. This practice encourages a deep sense of tranquility, self-awareness, and a transformative connection with the present moment.

-Tea Ceremony

The traditional Japanese tea ceremony, known as Sado, is a cultural ritual centered around the preparation and consumption of matcha. The tea ceremony is not merely about drinking tea; it is a reflection of the Japanese worldview, emphasizing the beauty of fleeting moments and the importance of mindfulness. The ceremony allows participants to disconnect from the rush of modern life and immerse themselves in a moment of aesthetic pleasure and spiritual reflection. 

-Day Trip in Shiga Prefecture and Biwa Lake

Venture to Shiga Prefecture

Immerse yourself in the beauty of Lake Biwa, Japan's largest and most pristine freshwater lake. This stunning destination offers a serene escape where you can relax and rejuvenate while surrounded by nature's untouched beauty. Explore the picturesque towns of Shiga, enjoy tranquil Sunset SUP (Standing Paddleboarding) on Biwa Lake, and take in the panoramic views that will cleanse your soul and leave you feeling at peace.

 

-Historic Gion District Night Walk 

Gion is well-known for its preserved Edo-period architecture, narrow streets lined with wooden machiya (traditional merchant houses), and its association with geishas. A night walk in Gion is a truly unforgettable experience that captures the timeless beauty of Kyoto, offering a sense of nostalgia and a deep connection to Japan’s cultural heart.

-Walk through bamboo forest

The Bamboo Forest in Sagano, located in the Arashiyama district of Kyoto, Japan, is a breathtaking natural wonder that captures the essence of tranquility and beauty. As you walk through the towering bamboo stalks, the forest feels almost otherworldly. The bamboo rises high into the sky, some reaching up to 50 feet, creating a lush green canopy that filters the sunlight and casts a serene glow on the forest floor.

​
