Japanese Culture Package: Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo & Hakujukan

Zen meditation, Buddhist vegan cuisine, and cultural exploration are what Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo promises with its new package in collaboration with Hakujukan in Fukui prefecture. 

Coinciding with the reopening of Japan's borders to foreign tourists, the package offers two nights at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, a luxury urban resort in the heart of Tokyo, and one night at Hakujukan, a traditional Japanese inn. The stay at Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo includes a garden-view room, daily breakfast, dinner at one of the hotel restaurants, and access to spa amenities. Guests can also participate in a cultural experience of their choosing — such as a Japanese Tea Ceremony at the hotel's authentic tea house, a calligraphy workshop, an origami workshop, and more. 

At Hakujukan, guests will stay in a modern Japanese-style room overlooking the Eiheiji river and wake up to a "syojin ryori," or Buddhist vegan breakfast. Guests can also participate in the zen morning service at Daihonzan Eiheiji for an authentic Soto Zen Buddhism experience. 

Bookings for the JAPANESE CULTURE PACKAGE: TOKYO HOTEL IN THE CLOUDS & ZEN MEDITATION AT EIHEIJI TEMPLE are open until June 30, 2023. It also includes an English concierge service, which can be used to arrange visits to Eiheiji Temple, Zazen experiences, Buddhist sermons, and more. Guests can reach Eiheiji Temple by train or air. 

Please visit Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo's website for more information on the holiday package and how to book.
