Karate, the martial art originating in Okinawa, and Engakuji Temple in Kamakura share a profound historical connection. As the site of the memorial monument for Master Gichin Funakoshi—the "Father of Modern Karate" and founder of the Shotokan school—Engakuji is revered as a sacred destination for karate practitioners worldwide. Set within the majestic grounds of this head temple of the Rinzai Zen sect, we offer a premium "Karate Tourism" program tailored for international visitors. Our program features a range of authentic experiences, including Zazen (Zen meditation) to sharpen the mind and body, hands-on karate training, a guided tour exploring the temple's deep history, and a peaceful Matcha tea ceremony. To ensure a personalized experience, we offer flexible customization based on each guest's preferences. We invite you to experience the ultimate immersion into Japanese culture, where history and spirituality intertwine to create lifelong memories.
