A Special Kyoto Morning Program to Color the Start of our Journey !
At seven o'clock on a quiet Kyoto morning, we arrived at the shop filled with excitement for the special day ahead.
First came sutra copying. With each stroke of the brush, my thoughts cleared, a focused time unlike anything in daily life. I felt my spirit settle with every single stroke.
Next, we enjoyed a head spa enveloped in the clear tones of the Orin(Singing bowl). The resonant sound touched my heartstrings, gently unwinding my spirit, and the soothing treatment guided me into deep relaxation.
Finally, we savored matcha tea and seasonal wagashi sweets, experiencing the beauty of Japan's morning culture.
With our mind and body refreshed, we set off to explore Kyoto. Thanks to this experience, our journey began with a joyful and meaningful morning.

What a moving experience!!
On that pleasant morning, I was led to a tranquil Japanese-style room.
The proprietress, dressed in kimono, welcomed me with matcha tea, and I was able to immerse myself in the quietude through copying sutras.
Both were first-time experiences for me and felt incredibly fresh.
The head spa that followed felt incredibly soothing, relaxing both body and mind. By the end, my head felt completely refreshed and clear.
Feeling wonderfully refreshed and composed, I was able to enjoy the sightseeing afterward.
Both the proprietress and the head spa therapist greeted me with smiles throughout, making it a very peaceful time.
This is a tour I can recommend to everyone.
