Experience your morning work at a Zen temple. Correct your posture, meditation, and chant the sutra with Osho. You can start your day comfortably by taking in the clear air of the early morning and uttering in a loud voice. After that, listen to the law while drinking matcha made by Osho. Working in the morning not only adjusts your posture and breathing, but also adjusts your mind.

Hoshinoya Kyoto is surrounded by Arashiyama and Ogurayama and is located away from the hustle and bustle of the city. By staying in a quiet inn where you can hear the murmuring of the river and the sound of the wind while feeling the changes of the four seasons, you can reset your mind away from everyday life.

1. “Early Morning Power Walk” on the banks of the Oigawa River

Power walk is one of the health methods to walk fast by stepping firmly on the ground with the sole of your foot while being aware of deep breathing and trunk. In this program, you will sweat and refresh yourself by walking along the river promenade under the blue maple lit by the morning sun. There will be a lecture in advance from the practitioner on how to do the power walk. Sensitivity is stimulated by focusing on the sounds of nature that are rarely touched, such as the chirping of birds and the murmuring of rivers.

Also, in Oriental medicine, the place where water flows is a suitable place to let out evil spirits. By breathing in the fresh air at the riverside and letting it go around your body, your body and mind will be relaxed.

2. “Deep breathing by the water” that stretches out the limbs under a 400-year-old maple

Stretching with an emphasis on breathing is performed at Hoshinoya Kyoto’s “Oku no Niwa” where the Asahi shines. The garden in the back is a garden with a dry landscape garden that resembles smoked roof tiles and white stones as sand crests. From the garden, you can enjoy the view of the Oigawa River and the valley of Arashiyama, and a 400-year-old maple spreads overhead, creating a soft shadow. You can adjust your mind and body by stretching your limbs and taking a deep breath while meditating.

3. Get the vitality of the day with a morning pot full of vegetables

Breakfast is a hot pot with plenty of seasonal vegetables. For breakfast on the second day, we will serve a hot pot limited to this program, which uses plenty of ginger and koji that are good for nutrition and tonicity.

Instead of mirin, we add chicken balls with ginger to the soup stock sweetened with jiuqu, and add chopped ginger as a condiment. We aim to improve immunity by warming the body from the inside with ginger and adjusting the intestinal environment with the dietary fiber of fermented foods such as jiuqu and vegetables.

In addition, grilled fish and ankake tofu are included, and you can get the vitality of the day with a well-balanced breakfast.
