SAMURAI Project handling plan list
Kamakura popular plans
Kamakura is a popular tourist destination for Japanese and foreign visitors. It is a place where many Japanese traditions have been preserved along with nature. And it was a birthplace of the Kamakura shogunate known as the samurai regime. We are carrying out a SAMURAI Project to offer a Japanese cultural experience at the Kigen-in temple, usually not open to the public, located in the vicinity of JR Kita-Kamakura Station.
This plan offers the following experiences:
Japanese Kimono (In summer, yukata) with a hakama
Zen meditation
Practice with a wooden sword
Trial with a real sword
Relaxation at 80 year old tea house
Kamakura is a birthplace of Zen. This event is to be held at Kigen-in hall of Engaku-ji temple, which is famous for one of the five great Rinzai temples of Kamakura. The Kigen-in is usually not open to the public. Your time spent in a beautiful Japanese garden, the main hall of the temple and the tea room might be a very special experience.
We are very particular about venue, instructors, and materials.
We believe that Kimono, Zazen and Iaido experiences will remain as a special memory.
We can also arrange a professionals to take photos or video and can hand over the outcome to you.
