The latest issue of Luxury Travel Magazine says "DO THIS" referring to my Zenbu Nigeru - Kyoto Cuisine and Culture Tour!

Only bookings for Zenbu Nigeru have now closed! 

Apologies for those who missed out. 

Maybe next time!

However there are still a couple of places available on my

 Ladies Only ZENBU ZEN - Cuisine & Culture tour of Kyoto!

But please don't delay!  Bookings close soon. 

In the meantime - take a look at this blurb just in case you are a glutton for punishment or fancy putting your name down for next year....

Zenbu Nigeru (Escape) Tour 2015

Dear All, 

Bookings have now closed for my Zenbu Nigeru - escape Xmas and New Year Tour. Thank you !! 

There is, however, still space on my other 2 tours - but just a quiet heads-up that the Zenbu Zen Ladies only tour is almost full. Please don't delay if you don't want to miss out!

Cheers, Jane 

Shunkoin and Shojin

Take one rainy Kyoto Day, add a small foodie travel group and introduce Zen philosophy, Buddhist vegetarian cuisine and a stroll in the bamboo forest. Not a bad day at work. 

Inspiring. Monk Taka from Shunkoin temple in the Myoshinji complex. 

A few gorgeous members of the January 2014 Zenbu Ryori. Ready for their meditation lesson. And keen to learn about life from the perspective of a Buddhist monk in Japan. 

Temple surrounds and grounds- stunning even in the rain and winter light.

Then onto our Shojin Ryori ( Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) lunch nearby. Vegan and amazing. Who could have guessed?

Then a short ride to Arashiyama... An atmospheric approach to the bamboo forest - if not terribly comfortable for too long in the rain and cold. It was a shame but one thing a tour guide cannot control is mother nature....
