Ordinary sightseeing in Kamakura typically involves just visiting temples. However, that alone might not constitute a true Buddhist experience. With our offered Zen meditation experience, you first purify both mind and body, then explore various magnificent temples in Kamakura. This allows you to immerse yourself in the true beauty of Kamakura, almost as if you've slipped back in time to the Edo period. Zen meditation is not something done to attain something, but rather to let go of something. By effectively allocating time for Zen meditation, which yields nothing tangible in your daily life, other moments become richer and happier. This is the wish of Zen meditation, seeking no rewards in return. Why not create wonderful memories of Japan that you can genuinely appreciate with this experience!
