We really enjoyed our experience. The entire group of 7 was dressed in Kimonos. The experience with the Meico was both educational, beautiful, and emotional, transporting us into traditional Japanese culture from centuries past.
Amazing afternoon!

Great experience. If you want a look into some Japanese traditions, you have to enjoy this experience. The whole thing was fantastic. We also rented the Kimonos for the whole family so it made it even more special. And the people organising as well as the Maiko were super professional, very nice, knowledgable and answering all our questions. Thank you!
Valuable experience

I truly enjoyed every moment of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. From the meaning and intention behind each graceful movement to the serene atmosphere it created. Wearing a beautiful traditional kimono made the experience even more special, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the culture and tradition. It was a peaceful, thoughtful, and unforgettable experience.
