What To Expect

<< Limited Launch Offer | Until March 26 >> Experience an authentic tea ceremony in a quiet 150-year-old Kyoto machiya, away from the busy tourist areas. Your experience begins with a short introduction to the history of the machiya townhouse and its role in Kyoto’s daily life and tea culture. Understanding the space and its design helps reveal why tea is practiced in this way. Seated comfortably on chairs, you will watch a live tea preparation by a tea practitioner with over 16 years of training. After the demonstration, you will prepare matcha yourself step-by-step at a rare Misonodana tea shelf, a professional tea setting rarely accessible to visitors.

    Such a wonderful tea ceremony experience at Juraku. Asano-sensei was gentle and patient, and the 150-year-old machiya made everything feel very authentic. The staff were also incredibly friendly. A truly memorable experience in Kyoto.

    A hidden gem in a 150-year-old machiya. The historic setting feels very peaceful and ceremonial, offering a quiet escape from the noise. The tea master was incredibly professional, and their meticulous technique was a joy to watch. With the English translation provided, the entire experience was seamless. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a high-quality and authentic cultural encounter
