Kyoto is famed for its shrines and temples, which are full of countless unique stories that will astonish you, making you fall in love with and connect yourself to their ancient history. In this virtual interactive experience we visit Kyoto's shrines and temples through high-quality videos I've recorded. You'll hear and see what Japanese believe in and practice, its principal and traditional customs. I will be narrating based on my Japanese childhood. I was born and raised in a 200 year-old rice farmer and my grandma always said "Ken, 8 million gods live in Japan, even in a single grain of rice so be grateful to everything and everybody". As my grandma said there is a rich diversity of deities in Japan, especially in Kyoto. We'll visit a couple of shrines and temples and discover the background of the elder deities there and learn Japanese way of thinking that would be helpful to our everyday lives too.

Most tourists visit Fushimi Inari Shrine for the thousand torii gates, but rarely do they delve deeper into the shrine's history and tradition. Learn about Shinto rituals and how forest bathing is done at one of Kyoto’s oldest shrines (founded 1,300 years ago!) I have recorded high-quality video that will make it seem that you are really at one with the forest at Fushimi Inari. We will visit shrines for various gods to learn what Shinto gods are like, witness the rituals used to appeal to them, and see 2 ways that people have tried to speak to the gods here. I will be narrating live throughout and you can ask questions anytime. We will look at 5 ways people meditate here at Fushimi Inari, and you’ll learn to how do mindfulness meditation at a sacred waterfall in a secret part of the shrine that tourists normally miss out on. We will sit together for just a couple of minutes so if you’re new to meditation this is a perfect way to get started. Once you've been on this you'll be able to practice forest bathing wherever you are. ✔ Interactive experience with quizzes & activities ✔ Celebrate birthdays & anniversaries in a meaningful way - also perfect for couples ✔ Learn surprising things about Japan's gods and forests ✔ Highly-rated for team-building by teachers, therapists, and groups from Amazon, Airbnb, Facebook, Google, IBM, Mastercard, Oracle, Salesforce, Spotify & more...
