Highly recommend relaxing temple tour with great guide!
Had the most amazing experience visiting the zen bhuddist temple's and participating in the meditation experience. Yutaka was a very helpful and kind guide and he made this tour 100% worth it. I highly recommend!

Once in lifetime cultural experience
Yutaka was our guide, he was fantastic. Not everyday that you get to experience an activity like this. Being from the States, we live an extremely busy lifestyle. Nice to see the philosophy of slowing down to enjoy life. Zen meditation with a monk in a Buddhist Temple, definitely a once in a lifetime experience. Yutaka, started by touring some shrines and explaining the history. After that, we had the opportunity to join a monk in an actual meditation ceremony. Finally ended with an authentic lunch of which the monks would eat. Highly recommend this cultural experience. Yutaka’s English was great. All in all, a fantastic way to experience Japanese culture.
