Kohgen 2015

Launched in 2011, this annual event stages around 100 workshops related to traditional Japanese culture and religion, including a Noh theatre experience and classes for calligraphy and zazen meditation, plus performances ranging from electronic music to sutra recitation. Stop by the Kyoto-themed market for a bite and steel yourself at the haunted house, which will supposedly be scary enough to give even stoic Buddhist monks the chills.
