In recent years, the teachings of Zen meditation (zazen) have become increasingly well-known around the world. However, there are surprisingly few places where one can experience authentic zazen. This activity offers a true digital detox and Zen experience—an immersive overnight stay at Shogakuji Temple, a Soto Zen temple nestled deep in the mountains about two hours from Tokyo. Over the course of two days and one night, participants can fully engage in traditional Soto Zen practices surrounded by rich natural beauty. During your stay, you’ll follow the same practices as Zen monks: sitting meditation (zazen), sutra copying (shakyō), and enjoying tenzo ryōri, traditional vegetarian temple cuisine. As an optional feature, you can hand over all digital devices—smartphones, computers, etc.—at check-in to enjoy a complete digital detox experience. Your guide is a local native English speaking guide so you will have no worries of communication.
