A Private Zazen Experience Suitable for Beginners and Family While zazen experiences in Japan often involve large groups of over 20 people, Denchuji Temple offers a more intimate setting. The temple conducts sessions for small groups with the intention of providing careful instruction. As no other groups participate, it promises to be a valuable experience. Direct Instruction in English by Monks Our company's close proximity to Denchuji Temple enables direct instruction in English by the monks. This allows tourists to enjoy a profound zazen experience without the necessity of interpreters. Chair Zazen is also Available Chair zazen is available for those unable to sit cross-legged, including children or those with physical limitations. Please inform us in advance if you wish to try Chair Zazen. Beginners are also welcome to participate with confidence.
