Event Overview

Located in Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture, this special program is held at Kokeizan Eiho-ji, an ancient temple of the Rinzai Zen school that houses National Treasure buildings. This experience combines authentic Zazen (seated meditation) with Horoku Moxibustion—a warming therapy—to help you achieve true harmony of mind and body. It offers a luxurious wellness experience, allowing you to step away from the bustle of daily life and connect deeply with yourself.

Highlights and Experience

The greatest charm of this program is the holistic harmony achieved within the solemn atmosphere of a historic Zen temple. In addition to Zazen to calm your breathing, you will experience the warming sensations of 'Horoku Moxibustion' guided by a professional practitioner.
