    Overview

    Do you want to experience Japanese language lesson in English and use the tips at the worldly famous "Kitchen of Kyoto"? I am both an experienced interpreter and a qualified Japanese language teacher. I love speaking English and Japanese languages more than anybody in Japan. This tour is unique because I teach you Japanese (Absolute beginner level) in English for 1 hour and then show you around NIshiki Market. During the tour at the gorgeous market, you can immerse in the vitality of its breathtaking world of amazing local food, handcrafts, the shrine, etc., speaking tips of Japanese to the shop staff and other local people. Nishiki Market is a five-block sensory explosion that has been the beating heart of Kyoto’s food scene for over 400 years! This isn't just a place to shop; it's a vibrant, bustling tunnel of flavor where the air is thick with the aroma of toasted sesame, grilled seafood, and sweet soy glaze. I'm looking forward to meeting with people from all over the world!

    Why everybody across the globe will Love Nishiki Market? Every stall is a masterclass in presentation! The Ultimate Snack Crawl: Forget a sit-down lunch! This is the place to graze. Try the famous Tako Tamago (a baby octopus with a quail egg inside), fresh Sashimi skewers, or fluffy Dashimaki Tamago (Japanese omelet) served piping hot. Authentic Kyoto Soul: Nishiki is famous for Kyo-yasai (unique Kyoto vegetables) and traditional ingredients you won't find anywhere else. It’s where the city’s top chefs come to source their secret weapons.

    Zen Meditation for Life in KyotoViator

    Kyoto

    Zen Meditation for Life in Kyoto

    Kyoto has been the principal home of Zen since its introduction to Japan from China at the beginning of the 13th century. Kyoto is therefore rightly famous for its Zen-influenced gardens, etc. However, the heart of Zen is the practice of meditation, for meditation is the very meaning of the word “Zen.” Given this, it is ironic there are few opportunities for short-term visitors to Kyoto to have more than a brief introduction to Zen meditation while visiting Zen temples. Thus, this workshop is unique in providing an extended, in-depth introduction to both the theory and practice of meditation (zazen) under the guidance of American-born, Sōtō Zen Buddhist priest and scholar Rev. Dr. Brian Victoria. Rev. Victoria will introduce you to both the theory and practice of Zen meditation, employing traditional meditation cushions (or chairs if needed) in a private meditation hall. By workshop completion, participants will become confident in their ability to continue meditating on their own.
