Sunday Zen Meditation at the Zen Dojo (with a tea party!)

Hello! I run the Sapporo Zen Map project, which helps make Zen practice more accessible for foreign visitors and residents in Sapporo.

After the session, if you have time, we might grab lunch or drinks together.

---------------------------------------
This is not a tourist-oriented event. It’s a regular activity for locals, and you can join them to experience authentic Zen practice in Japan.

You might wonder:
- What if I can’t follow their manners?
- I don’t speak Japanese well…
- What should I prepare for meditation?
- What is it really like?

No worries! I’ll be there to guide you through the whole session.
If you’re interested, just let me know. You can decide whether to join after reading the details.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
