A beautiful addition to a visit to Japan

5.00This tea ceremony experience was lovely! The setting, in a tatami room beside a beautiful Japanese garden, was so peaceful and picturesque. Our family (myself, my husband, and our two tween daughters) found it to be an interesting look into Japanese culture and history. One caveat to be aware of, it was not super comprehensive on teaching all about the tea ceremony. It was more about experiencing the ceremony, taking you through the steps. But the host was wide open to answering questions. So, if you are craving a more comprehensively educational experience, come with some questions prepared.
Pleasant learning course, getting full.

5.00Away from the bustle of crowded tourist sites, we experienced a delightful one-hour introduction to the Japanese tea ceremony in a traditional house. Our host was poised and gracious and educated us on the basics and history of the ritual, with the aid of an interpreter. This is a must-do when visiting Kamakura!
Wonderful experience
