Reflect on your practice over a cup of matcha and Japanese sweets, fostering a relaxed atmosphere. Transition to a calligraphy workshop where you will master brush techniques and create a personalized artwork on shikishi board. Capture the moment with photos of your creation, making this a memorable keepsake from your Zen journey.

Itinéraire
Step into a quiet local temple to experience authentic zazen as practiced for centuries. Your monk instructor explains how to sit and breathe, then guides a focused session (with short practice first). On request only, the traditional keisaku (encouragement stick) may be offered to help restore attention. You’ll also learn how shakyo (sutra copying) relates to mindfulness and everyday Zen. You can enjoy a quiet break with matcha prepared by the monk, served with traditional Japanese sweets. It’s not formal or rigid—just simple etiquette and a relaxed atmosphere. As your mind and body settle through Zen practice, the warmth of the matcha will sink in gently, bringing a sense of pure comfort and happiness. After reflection and Q&A—with bilingual support—we transfer to a nearby studio for a hands-on calligraphy workshop.
In the calligraphy class, start with brush grip, ink control, and basic strokes, then choose a character (e.g., your name in kanji or a meaningful word) and create a final piece on shikishi board. Take photos of your work and bring it home as a personal keepsake. This compact half-day blends stillness and creativity—ideal for first-timers and meditators alike.

About Tokyo
Quartiers au néon, sanctuaires paisibles, cuisine superbe : Tokyo est une immense métropole ordonnée, reliée par des trains ponctuels.
Chaque quartier a des allures de ville à part entière. Le célèbre carrefour de Shibuya et les tours, les bars et les ruelles de Golden Gai à Shinjuku vibrent d'énergie, tandis qu'Harajuku mêle mode des jeunes et calme boisé du sanctuaire Meiji Jingu. À Asakusa, le temple Sensō-ji et sa rue marchande font vivre un Tokyo plus ancien, et Ginza propose de grands magasins raffinés et des galeries.
Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
