Overview

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!

After purifying both mind and body through Zen meditation, we will proceed to visit the highlights of Kamakura sightseeing in order. First, we will marvel at the colossal Great Buddha of Kamakura, followed by the exquisitely beautiful gardens of Hasedera Temple, and then we'll visit the famous Hokokuji Temple, renowned for its overwhelming bamboo grove. As an optional lunch choice, you can also visit Shirasuya to taste the locally beloved whitebait dishes.

All transportation will be comfortably provided by car, allowing for a smart and efficient sightseeing experience that would normally require more than a day.
