zazen meditation
Being the cultural capital and centre of buddhist philosophy’s in Japan, many temples offer meditation courses with genuine buddhist monks guiding you along the way.  Reach spiritual enlightenment (Satori) or try something new and completely relaxing at one of the beautiful temples in Kyoto.  
Zazen is offered at Kennin-ji Temple and Nanzen-in Temple but the best place would be Tai Zoin temple.

himeji castle  
My favorite castle in Japan posing itself on a mountain, completely fortified and magnificent.  Beautifully detailed family crest tiles adorn the roof and you can see how they protected these sights in the 15th century and beyond.  Situated about 1.5 hours by train from Kyoto, it makes for a great day trip and the gardens are also not to be missed.

maiko & cuisine evening
Being the home of the geisha and training maiko, Kyoto is also the centre where patrons are entertained with tea ceremony’s and Japanese instruments.  Why not try a cultural experience not to be missed with dinner & a wonderful photographic experience.  The world of the geisha is not child’s play dressing up in elaborate outfits, its an art to be respected.  Although a little costly at 18,000 yen, it is an experience you will never forget! http://www.kyoto-maiko.jphttp://www.kyoto-maiko.jphttp://www.kyoto-maiko.jpshapeimage_10_link_0shapeimage_10_link_1
