【KYOTO】Exclusive Zen Meditation At a Hidden Temple

A Private Retreat at Ryosokuin


Highlights

Escape the hustle and bustle for a private meditation experience at Ryosoku-in, a normally closed Kyoto temple, where you can center your mind. Spend peaceful, harmonious time in this special space usually closed to the public. Begin with guided meditation in a special room overlooking the garden.

Under the guidance of hospitality staff, slowly regulate your breathing while turning your consciousness inward, being led into deep relaxation. Then proceed to walking meditation through the garden.

Walk quietly through the historic dry landscape garden (karesansui), feeling the sensations underfoot and the surrounding nature, enjoying a moment away from daily chaos. This special experience in a serene, normally closed temple will provide a soul-cleansing time unique to Kyoto.
