In this private experience, you have the opportunity to explore a historic temple (once the villa of a famous samurai lord), personally guided by the resident Zen Buddhist priest. Nestled among woods which are equally stunning in spring or fall, this temple founded over 1,200 years ago features some beautiful religious sculptures and dragon paintings from the famous Kano school of artists. Afterwards the priest will introduce you to the key tenets of Zen Buddhism and lead you through a personal meditation session. Enjoy the quietness and serenity of this lovely temple setting.
