Have you ever tried "Shojin-ryori"?

"Shojin-ryori" is a vegetarian meal for Zen-buddhist monks because of the  Buddhist prohibition of taking any life.

"Shojin-ryori" can be enjoyed at a nice Japanese restaurant in the precinct of Tenryu-ji Temple, one of the most famous Zen-temples and World Cultural Heritage Sites in Kyoto.

Actually, the special cuisine in Tenryu-ji Temple has been listed on the Michelin Bib Gourmand since 2019.

Let's enjoy early morning Kyoto and maiko experience

Kyoto
6 hours

Kyoto is one of the most popular places to visit, but so crowded. If you want to enjoy quiet Kyoto, I recommend you visit there early morning. In this tour, you can enjoy bamboo grove, morning coffee at a Japanese style coffee shop and beautiful river and mountains scenery from a wooden bridge. After that, why don't you try 'washoku', or Japanese cuisine and maiko, or cute apprentice geisha's dancing? My special early morning tour will give you wonderful and unforgettable memories in Japan!!
