The Mindful Wayfarer
Overview
Modern Japan blends the ancient with the contemporary, the east with the west. On this exclusive journey, you will immerse yourself in this captivating fusion. Your day begins at one of the Shikoku 88 temple pilgrimage sites, Kokubunji, where a resident monk guides you through a serene meditation session to uncover the secrets of the sanctuary. Afterward, find peace in an exquisite garden while savoring traditional matcha. Next, stroll through historic local neighborhoods and verdant rice fields to reach the Wayfarer Brewing Company. Here, the Australian-Japanese owners serve distinct single-batch beers in local clay cups, paired with a curated light lunch.
