Myoshin-ji's Taishu Zendo zazen sessions for the general public run about three times a month in three formats: a Saturday-evening session with a talk by a teacher, a weekday-evening session in the main halls, and a weekday session followed by a Dharma talk. Each session takes 20 people; the fee is 2,000 yen for the first visit and 1,000 yen thereafter, with advance booking via the online form. Instruction is in Japanese only, though you may bring your own Japanese interpreter.
