What sets this tour apart is its quiet depth and focus on meaning—an unhurried exploration of Kyoto’s Zen spirit through two remarkable temples.
With a knowledgeable guide, you’ll visit Tofuku-ji’s bold modern gardens, cross the iconic Tsutenkyo Bridge, and then step into the hidden serenity of Komyo-in, a lesser-known subtemple with a meditative moss-and-stone garden. Along the way, you’ll learn how Zen design expresses stillness, impermanence, and harmony—not just through beauty, but through space, silence, and intention. This is more than sightseeing; it’s a mindful experience of Kyoto at its most contemplative.
