Zen Meditation Experiences
Quality meditation retreats in Japan for a tranquil escape
Zen, rooted in Buddhism, promotes seated meditation (zazen) for mindfulness and peace. It has evolved into a global spiritual practice shaping art, culture, and philosophy. Explore Zen and mindful living with Wabunka, from zazen in Kyoto to serene escapes in Tokyo. Beyond meditation, join private Zen sessions led by monks, elegant tea ceremonies, or even exclusive tours of temples typically off-limits to visitors.
