Unseen Waterfall Meditation in Kyoto - Summer season only


Upon your stay in Kyoto, it is very likely that you will visit the Kiyomizu temple. There are many beautiful things to see there, and one of these might catch your attention: the Otowa waterfall with its water divided into three different streams. The Otowa waterfall is a good example of the importance of waterfall in the ancestral Japanese culture. The practice called Taki Gyo is maybe one of the most famous activities related to the waterfall. Its root can be found in Shintoism but it is also now performed as ascetic practice in Buddhism and Martial Arts. During this activity, you will have a chance to experience meditation inside the original Otowa water spot. This practice is famous for:

1.Restoring body and mind motivation

2.Inducing meditative state
