5.00With all there is to see and do in Japan, THIS was a highlight of my trip! The experience offered the childlike fun of getting dressed up in a traditional kimono and hairpiece (complete with souvenir socks!) to a serene opportunity to learn and participate in a truly unique Japanese custom. Also, while booking, I had asked about the sweets included in the ceremony due to a food allergy, and the company even sent an ingredient list so I could confirm their safety. On my next trip to Japan, I definitely plan to visit Maikoya's other locations in Tokyo and Kyoto since, as the company points out "it's the experiences—not the possessions—that stay with us, shaping our understanding of the world".
Great experience, my 13...

5.00It was a truly magnificent afternoon. They dressed us in beautiful authentic kimono costumes and the choice of kimonos and accessories was huge. The tea ceremony was interesting, informative and fun and the lady holding the ceremony has so much knowledge. Afterwards we went to the shrine next door, perfect for photos.

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.
