Overview

A rare opportunity to enter the main hall of Tokujomyoin Temple, a hidden temple in Kyoto’s historic Higashiyama district that is normally closed to the public. To preserve the peaceful atmosphere, participation is limited to a small number of guests. Your experience begins with a meditation session designed to calm the mind and help you slow down. Depending on the plan you choose, you will then enjoy either a traditional Buddhist vegetarian meal (Shojin Ryori) or a light temple breakfast. Next, take part in the temple’s unique Okaidan Meguri, a traditional darkness walk through a completely unlit corridor, guided only by your sense of touch. The experience concludes with a bowl of matcha tea in a tranquil setting.

Highlights

Mindful Main Hall Meditation: Step away from daily life and relax your mind with a peaceful, beginner-friendly meditation session surrounded by the sounds of nature
Sensory Darkness Walk (Okaidan Meguri): Experience a unique traditional journey through complete darkness beneath the main hall to open your "inner eye" and rediscover light
Relaxed & Beginner-Friendly Tea Ceremony: Enjoy freshly prepared matcha and seasonal Japanese sweets in a comfortable chair-seated (Ryurei) style, complete with a commemorative photo opportunity
