If you are tired from the noises of the Tokyo metropolis, there is no need to flee far away. If you want to give your mind a rest, why not try zazen at Chokokuji?

Chokokuji, located in Nishi-Azabu, Tokyo, is the Tokyo Betsuin (branch temple) of the Sotozen Eiheiji Temple founded around 500 years ago. The Kannon-do hall houses a Kannon statue about 10m high, known as the Juichimenkannonbosatsuzo, or the Eleven-Faced Bodhisattva. Here people have worshipped the Kannon on its sacred ground since ancient times and it has watched over the people with beauty and nobility as they have repeatedly overcome disasters.

You will sit on a zazen zabuton (cushion) known as a “sabu” where you will place one foot on the opposite thigh and tuck your other leg under you. You will sway from left to right using the three points of both knees and your buttocks to stabilize you as you breathe in and out deeply from your abdomen. Open your eyes and look at the floor approximately 1m in front of you. A bell will signal the beginning of zazen.

Tokyo is known as a very wellness conscious city and offers a variety of activities for maintaining your health and beauty. For example, Tokyo allows you to enjoy various styles of yoga from traditional Indian or original Japanese yoga that are popular for both locals and visitors. “Tokyo is an excellent place to explore yoga because it has such a large variety of venues in which classes are held” explains the Hotel Gajoen team.

In addition, because vanilla essence and the aromatic components of black tea are included, every time you take a deep breath you will be healed by the scent of the tatami straw and feel a deep relaxing effect. You will also see the beautiful art spread across the ceiling and walls as you do your poses. Classes are available to both hotel guests and visitors, and can be tailored to the level of the participants from beginner to advanced. Instructors can also hold classes in English.
