Kanazawa Private Zen Meditation

Discover the profound stillness of Daijoji Temple, one of Japan’s most prestigious Soto Zen training monasteries. This exclusive experience is personally guided by a resident monk, with a professional interpreter ensuring you understand every nuance of Zen philosophy. Your journey begins with a private vehicle pick-up from your Kanazawa hotel. At the temple, you will be led on an in-depth tour of the historic architecture and sacred grounds by the monk. Following the tour, enter the meditation hall for a private Zazen (seated meditation) session. The monk will provide direct instruction on posture and breathing, translated in real-time by your guide. Conclude your experience with traditional matcha tea and a moment of reflection. This is a rare opportunity to engage deeply with authentic Zen life in a private, serene setting.
