5.00It was exceptionally relaxing. If you are staying in Kyoto, the owner of the tea house is also the proprietor at the hotel GOCO near the Nishiki market, and you can get a discount on the tea ceremony. Do a bit of stretching beforehand if you are not used to sitting in the floor for about period of time.
Great experience
