Escape the crowds and discover a quieter side of Japan with a morning of Zen meditation, traditional matcha, and stunning Mount Fuji views.

Guided by a resident monk at a local temple, you'll learn the basics of Zazen meditation in a peaceful natural setting.

After the session, enjoy freshly prepared matcha while taking in the tranquil atmosphere and, on clear days, views of Mount Fuji.

Combining mindfulness, cultural immersion, and spiritual tradition, this unique experience offers a memorable and refreshing start to your day in the Fuji Five Lakes region.
