  This was a wonderful, enriching and very special experience. We booked the additional tea ceremony, and Mrs. Inao was gracious enough to explain everything to us in detail. We've done a few tea ceremonies, and this one by far felt the least touristy and the most instructive on the culture, history, etiquette and meaning behind the different components. This set the stage wonderfully for our Ikebana workshop, which was similarly deep and instructive. It was both meditative and enlivening. Mrs. Keiko was also a wonderful translator and co-host, and showed us some of the special shops and corners of the Bikan historical quarter. I highly recommend this once in a lifetime activity!

• Pleasant hour or so out of the crowds.

  This involves meeting at a florist and then a 15 minute walk to Mrs Inao’s home. Guidance with selecting flowers for your arrangement should be welcomed. It was an informative and fun session learning about the art and culture of Ikeybana.

  It was a very interesting and novel activity to do in the lovely town of Kurashiki. Mrs Inao and the guide were both lovely, and the flower shop we started in to pick our materials was gorgeous too.

  Mrs. Inao was gracious with her time and experience. Though we had the language barrier the translators helped us understand just a beginning of a beginning of Ikebana.

  This was a great activity to do. A very interesting experience showing a small slice of an old artform. It was a lovely change of pace from some of the more hectic and busy sites of Japan and fitted very well with the quieter and slower pace of Kurashiki. It was great to meet and spend a little time with both Sensai Inao and Misa-san who guided and translated for us as Mrs Inao does not speak English. Would definitely recommend.

  Experience of a house in Kurashiki historic quarter. Expensive for what you received. Not as described on the advert. Did not receive the in-depth knowledge of the culture behind the style of flower arrangement nor the history behind it.

• An enjoyable afternoon.

  The whole experience. The guide, the teacher, the flower arranging ,the green tea and sweets, even the teachers husband showing his art work. A great way to spend a few hours.

  My mom and I had a great time at the Ikebana Experience! Our translator and guide Misa was kind and friendly, and was very attentive and helpful to make sure we understood what the teacher was explaining to us. The staff at the flower shop were lovely, and it was fun getting to pick our own flowers! Mrs. Inao, the Ikebana teacher, was also very welcoming and friendly and made sure to go over some background information as well as the principles of how to create our arrangements. With some final help we were both really happy with our final product! Overall a really great experience and definitely worth the time! Plus, getting to walk around the historical district afterwards was a lot of fun! If you want a uniquely Japanese cultural experience, look no further!
