We will help you with your hair set before putting on your kimono. After that, you will have a simple photo shoot and then enjoy the tea ceremony experience with a master. Our tea room has been used for three generations. It is located near Daitoku-ji Temple, a place deeply rooted in Japanese tea culture. It's a bit old, but we'll do our best to help alleviate the fatigue from your trip to Japan. First, a tea master who has studied tea ceremonies for 30 years will show you the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. After having a cup of tea with seasonal sweets, you will learn about the history and etiquette of the ceremony, and even have the chance to prepare your tea. Why don't you share a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime time with the tea master?

5.00What an absolutely lovely experience! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and cared for. The kimono dressing was not only fun but also very thoughtfully done—they helped us choose patterns and colors that suited us, and explained the cultural significance behind the attire. Wearing the kimono made the whole experience feel even more authentic and special. The tea ceremony itself was truly memorable. Our hosts were kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, walking us through each step with both grace and enthusiasm. They explained the traditions and meaning behind the ritual, which made it more than just an activity—it felt like a genuine cultural exchange. Everything was beautifully presented, and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful, making it easy to immerse ourselves in the moment. The staff were not only pleasant but also very attentive, answering questions and making sure everyone felt comfortable. If you are in Kyoto, I highly recommend booking this experience. It’s the perfect way to connect with Japanese culture in a hands-on, meaningful way. You will not regret it!
