A snow-dusted Zen temple garden in Kyoto in midwinter
Seasonal availability:季节限定: Midwinter — snow mornings confirmed on short notice. When the window closes, this experience is gone until next year.隆冬限定。雪晨名额于前一晚确认。窗口期一旦结束,本体验将等到明年才会再次开放。Dates:日期: Dec 15 – Feb 28 — snow-morning slots confirmed the evening before12月15日–2月28日(雪晨批次于前一晚确定)

Kyoto in midwinter is the city the postcards miss. The tour buses are gone, the gardens are silent, and on the mornings after snowfall the karesansui gardens — raked gravel and stone — become monochrome compositions the designers themselves considered the finest state of the garden.隆冬的京都,是明信片错过的京都。旅游大巴消失,庭园归于寂静;而在落雪次日的清晨,砂砾与石组成的枯山水,会变成连作庭家本人都视为「庭园最佳状态」的水墨构图。

You enter a northern Kyoto Zen temple with a guide, walk the garden while the snow still holds, sit a short zazen if you wish, and then warm up properly: a full tea ceremony in the heated tea room, watching the garden through the open shoji. For travellers from Australia and elsewhere escaping a southern summer, this is the most Japanese thing winter offers.与向导一同走进洛北的禅寺,趁雪未化漫步庭园,愿意的话随僧人短坐一炷禅,然后好好暖和起来:在生着炭火的茶室里进行正式茶道,敞开的障子外就是庭园。对从南半球盛夏逃来的旅行者而言,这是冬天所能给出的、最日本的时刻。
