Seven French university students are staying in Chigasaki city from July 1st, 2018 for three weeks. As a part of the Japanese culture experience, we took them Zazen experience and Kamakura sightseeing on July 4 (Wednesday) based on the cooperation of the Japan-French Association of Kamakura and the priest of Jochi temple.
Students had a good time in the temple by doing the Zazen and talking together with the priest about Zazen and Japanese culture etc. And they enjoyedthe Japanese lunch at the temple.
