Date(s) - 2023/10/02　10:00 AM - 1:00 PM

The tour will be held regularly on the first Monday of every month, and there are two types: a one-hour walking tour of the temple precincts with a Buddhists priest; or a three-hour tour experiencing tea ceremony, Asokukan (meditation) and walking tour.
Part of the tour fee will be donated to support local social welfare activities.

About tea ceremony and Asokukan meditation

During the tea ceremony experience, participants will spend a special time observing the heart of Japan, while watching the host’s tea performance and experiencing the procedure of the tea ceremony at Chikusui-tei, which was moved from the former residence of Kusakabe Kyutaro, who was called a shipping king in the Taisho period.

In Asokukan meditation, participants connect with themselves through breathing. The meditation method of esoteric Shingon Buddhism is the technique which harmonizes our body and soul through the breathing control. Adjusting our breathing naturally calms our mind, and when we calm our mind, we can feel a peace. It is one of the trainings to attain wisdom and virtue.
