Tea ceremony in a tatami room at a prestigious Kyoto Zen temple

Kyoto has no shortage of thousand-yen tea ceremonies performed for tourists. This is not that. You spend the morning inside a prestigious working Zen temple that is normally closed to the public, hosted by the monks who live there.京都到处是面向游客的千元茶道表演。这不是那种体验。您将在一座平日不对外开放、僧人们实际修行起居的名刹里度过上午,接待您的正是住在这里的僧人。

The morning moves slowly on purpose: a zazen sitting guided by a monk who explains what the posture and the breathing are for, a walk through gardens the public never enters, and then a full tea ceremony in the temple's own tea room — the setting the ceremony was designed for. Your guide interprets throughout, so the conversation with the monk is a real one.上午刻意放慢节奏:由僧人讲解姿势与呼吸意义的坐禅;漫步公众永远看不到的庭园;然后在寺院自己的茶室里进行一场正式的茶道——茶道本来就是为这样的场所而生。翻译向导全程陪同,您与僧人的对话是真正的交流。
