Why Walk with a Zen Philosopher

Experience the Living Spirit of Japan — and of Yourself.

In Japan, Zen is often kept as form — temples, rules, and history.
What many travelers seek, however, is the living essence: silence, awareness, and direct experience.


As an Oxford-trained philosopher and long-term meditation practitioner from Kamakura,
I guide you not through concepts but through presence
— walking quietly, breathing deeply, and feeling what Zen calls Ku.

About the Guide
My name is ｓ. Murata. I hold a DPhil from the University of Oxford and was born and raised in Kamakura — home to some of Japan’s oldest Zen temples.
For over 30 years I have practiced meditation and explored consciousness through Eastern and Western philosophy.
My role is simple: to walk beside you — in silence, dialogue, and awareness.
