Overview
Begin your journey at Myoshin-ji, Japan's largest Zen temple, with a monk-guided walk through the temple grounds, where you will explore the profound history of Zen and the temple's centuries-old heritage.
As evening or early morning quiets the precincts, step into the majestic Ōhōjō (Main Abbot's Quarters), where the doors are closed and the vast hall is reserved entirely for you to begin a private zazen meditation.
In this tranquil after-hours setting, the resident monk provides gentle guidance, allowing you to settle into deep stillness and connect with the essence of Zen.
This exclusive experience invites you to embrace timeless wisdom and carry a renewed sense of balance and inner clarity into daily life.
