Tea ceremony and visit to the Tōshōgū temple

5.00I had a wonderful time. Our host was extremely professional, very elegant, and gentle. Watching her prepare the tea was a timeless moment. We were also able to taste traditional Japanese sweets before drinking the tea. Then we headed to the Tōshōgū temple, dressed in kimono, where we learned more about the famous three monkeys, as well as hearing the dragon's cry. I recommend it to all lovers of Japan who want an authentic and complete experience!! It was truly an incredible day.
It was so good❗

Matcha experience and Toshogu tour

5.00I joined this cultural experience tour with my friend who is studying in Japan! While visiting Nikko Toshogu Shrine, he taught us about its culture and history. In fact, it was a great experience to visit with a teacher of Japanese culture 😊 If you have friends overseas, I would especially recommend it. You can drink authentic matcha. It was a valuable experience that I could not experience just by sightseeing normally.

5.00It was a wonderful experience. You can visit Nikko Toshogu Shrine in a kimono, Not only did they explain the highlights, but they also taught me how to pray well. After that, I also participated in a tea party at the end, which was very fulfilling. He taught me a deep knowledge of tea, which was very interesting. I would also like to participate.
