Shoshazan Engyo-ji Temple—Experience Zazen Meditation at the Temple Hall

Experience zazen seated meditation at the Jogyo-do training hall of Shoshazan Engyo-ji Temple, which once featured in a Hollywood movie. What better way to discover this ancient practice than to envelop yourself in silence sitting cross-legged and straight-backed in this historical temple hall?
