I got lazy & booked a tea experience through a big tour aggregate, so I’m not sure why I was expecting something super authentic & special. The ceremony itself was lovely & our tea master could not have been nicer. That part gets 5 stars! But all in all, including getting dressed + the photoshoot at the end, it was two hours long & the ceremony itself was only 20 minutes. It just felt like a massive waste of time when we could be out in Kyoto seeing the sights. Also, the location (although everyone truly could not have been sweeter, I can’t stress that enough) felt very corporate. Definitely felt like a place for LARPing vs having an authentic experience. If this is your thing, go for it! But just ask yourself if it’s something you’d actually enjoy or if you should do a little more legwork to find a better fit.
