My daughter-in-law and I really enjoyed this experience learning the cultural tradition of making tea in Okinawa. Getting to wear a traditional kimono and be in a real tea room was something we will always remember. The instructor was friendly and patient with us. The interpreter was very helpful and kind too. We would definitely recommend this experience to others.

Fun, unique learning experience. The tea master walked us through a traditional Japanese tea ceremony while the translator filled in what we didn’t understand. It was a fun and memorable class/experience!!
Beautiful experience.

The reverence for the tea room was beautiful. Loved how nature was incorporated into everything. Really enjoyed all of the intricate details from the paintings, flower arrangements, clothes, and tea ceremony itself. It was a very peaceful experience.
