    This was a truly incredible experience. It was amazing to immerse in the traditional Japanese culture through a tea ceremony and kimono dressing. The dressing process (for women) was an experience in itself, going through multiple stages of dressing, having hair styled etc. Highly recommend, a very authentic experience.

    It was such a wonderful experience. The costumes were very traditional. Staff dressed us all efficiently and well. Whilst it was much busier than expected (and yes commercial) it was not a rushed or overly chaotic touristy experience.

  • Great experience lots of fun

    The Japanese tea ceremony was such a beautiful experience. The team helped me pick a kimono and did my hair and I truly had such a great time. The Japanese tea ceremony was very calming and traditional. Overall, it is in a good area right by the Nishiki market overall recommend if you would like a traditional kimono and learn how to make Matcha.
