5.00I like Japan more! I think there are few places where you can experience it so quietly and slowly, even though it is a tourist destination.
Amazing landlady.

5.00After getting dressed up, we experienced the tea ceremony. Ayaka-san's flair was cool. And he smiled throughout when we were talking, and the gap was lovely.
Perfect.

5.00What a nice welcome for us. We were allowed to choose a kimono, and all the accessories. Just being dressed in it was an experience. To shorten the waiting time we got a sweet and a tea, how wonderful. Then the tea ceremony was declared and we were allowed to watch what a magic in every movement. In the end, we were also able to make a matcha ourselves. After many photos and even more extras, we didn't want to leave. When I come back to Nikko, I will definitely visit again. Thanks for the special time together!
Great experience in Nikko

5.00I had such a wonderful experience here. There were so many gorgeous kimono options, and choosing one was honestly a lot of fun. Ayaka was incredibly warm and kind. She walked me through the tea ceremony step by step and explained everything so clearly. She even helped me take some photos, which I really appreciated. It ended up being one of the most memorable and meaningful moments of my trip to Japan. Thank you so much.
