“Absolutely beautiful tour exploring some of the oldest zen gardens in Japan. A chance to stroll and explore places you’d never find on your own, and learn amazing things about Japanese religion and landscape architecture, and with a chance to meditate.”
— Sean, USA
“I enjoyed watching mosses closely, having matcha in a private house, and mostly meditating and feeling the spirit of Zen gardens. XJ has a great knowledge of Buddhism and Shintoism. He’s also an avid observer and researcher to develop a most special route to highlight your trip. Highly recommended!”
— Eva, China
“The garden is so amazing, nice and quiet, good for relaxing and meditation. You’ll have a great experience and also some great stories about all the temples, culture and the gardens too.”
— Sarika, Thailand
“If you’re interested in Buddhism and Zen gardens I would highly recommend this tour. Not only were the Zen gardens beautiful, but it was an incredible experience to have someone as informed as XJ explain the significance and intricacies...”
— Emma, USA
“This tour was amazing! It exceeded expectations and was the perfect mix between culture, history and modern explanations. After the tour XJ provided us with a ton of recs for the rest of our trip and was really helpful!”

“It was a fantastic day. Three temples and a traditional tea room he chose were unique... quiet and traditional Zen style. The word beautiful is not enough to describe Komyo-in. Only if you go there and feel it yourself, will you know how shocking it (will be) to you... Thank you.”
