Experience Details
This private experience at Jogyesa Temple, Seoul's most sacred Buddhist site, goes far beyond typical sightseeing. Jason, a K-culture tourism professor with formal Buddhist studies training, guides guests through Korean Buddhist philosophy, meditation, and traditional prostration practice as a genuine cultural encounter. Guests also enjoy a meaningful hands-on Buddhist craft activity to take home as a keepsake. The journey ends at Balwoo Gongyang, a restaurant run by the Jogye Order itself, serving the same temple cuisine eaten by monks for centuries — earning both a Michelin listing and Korea's Blue Ribbon Seoul award. Perfect for curious travelers, culture seekers, and food lovers searching for deep, authentic flavors found nowhere else.

Jason really put a lot of thought and effort into making sure I had a special experience in Seoul. I learned a lot, and he was extremely helpful, informative, and very good company!
