5.00We enjoyed and learned a lot about Japanese tea ceremony customs. It was interesting to get outfitted in their traditional kimonos and partake in their tea ceremony. It was a nice plus that they offer chairs for those that needed them.

5.00Amazing and fun way to experience the tradition of making Japanese tea. They dress you in kimonos and you get the royal treatment. The hostess takes you thru the ceremony in a special room and you enjoy sweet treats to complement the tea. You have the kimonos available for a few hours after the experience so you can walk over to the Shinto shrine and take pictures in your kimonos for an authentic experience.
Book it, it’s very good.
