The Experience
Tea ceremony is not just about drinking tea and eating sweets. Enjoy the tea ceremony experience in the home of a locally born Kyoto instructor, in a classroom where even locals attend.
Appreciate the hanging scrolls and utensils that you can only see here, and relish the stories and seasonal arrangements that you can only here. In this tea ceremony experience, it's not just a simple class designed for tourists; even those who have previously experienced other tea ceremonies in Kyoto can find it enjoyable. Moreover, you have the opportunity to inquire about ikebana (flower arranging) with the instructor, who is also a qualified ikebana teacher, and ask any questions you may have.
Feel free to ask anything you're curious about, and savor the tranquility of a completely private setting. After enjoying the tea made by the instructor during the demonstration, you'll have the chance to prepare your own tea.
We have put careful thought into ensuring that you can truly relish the art of Japanese tea ceremony, and we look forward to welcoming you.
