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.

Route
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 Tokio
Neonverlichte wijken, stille heiligdommen, voortreffelijk eten en eigen buurten vormen Tokio, een uitgestrekte, ordelijke metropool vol stipte treinen.
Elke wijk voelt als een eigen stad. De beroemde kruising van Shibuya en de torens, bars en steegjes van Golden Gai in Shinjuku gonzen van energie, terwijl Harajuku jeugdmode combineert met de beboste rust van het Meiji Jingu-heiligdom. In Asakusa houden de Sensō-ji-tempel en zijn winkelstraat een ouder Tokio in leven, en Ginza biedt gepolijste warenhuizen en galeries.
Top-ranked sights in Tokio: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
