Experience Yoga sessions at one of Japan's foremost Zen temples, Rinzai Myoshin-ji, and gain a deeper understanding of the commonalities between Zen and Yoga. This tour promises to provide a fresh perspective on your well-being, nurturing both your mind and body.
Amidst the serene Myoshin-ji's beautiful rock garden, ever-changing seasonal landscapes, and tranquil morning atmosphere, why not embark on a journey to discover inner peace from a new perspective?
