A wonderful, authentic experience in Kyoto! The kimono dressing and hair styling were seamless, and the tea and snacks were delicious. Highly recommend!
Wow what an amazing experience!!! It was so wonderful to learn about a tea ceremony and make our own matcha. It was a bonus to be able to dress up in traditional kimono. We had so much fun!!!
Welcoming, informative, beautiful and peaceful. We got to choose our kimonos, they helped us get dressed and we learned a lot.
Our family (kids 12 and 18) thuroughly enjoyed the experience. We were a bit apprensive about getting dressed in the Kimono, but the staff was extremely kind and helpful. The tea ceremony was educational and enjoyable.
A very calm and peaceful introduction to this part of Japanese culture. Our hostess, Taicho, was very informative and cordial, making us comfortable. My 12 and 14 yo enjoyed selecting their kimono and learning to make matcha properly.
A wonderful experience shared with family and friends. A must for everyone visiting Kyoto. Dressing in a Kimona and walking around the city was definitely a highlight.
Great experience! They dressed us so well, there was so much choice, it was so welcoming. The tea ceremony was lovely, honestly please book it!
This has been one of the highlights of my trip. Being dressed for the tea was fun and very considerate. All the women helping were very kind and gentle. The tea ceremony was beautiful and felt so meaningful. If you’re worried about sitting for so long or have bad knees they have some mini chairs. It was a wonderful experience!
The most beautiful experience in Japan to date. Everything perfect, attention to detail, courtesy and professionalism of the people who welcomed us and dressed. Then the charm and grace expressed during the tea ceremony. Wonderful!
I absolutely loved this experience start to finish. It’s definitely a must do for men and women in Japan.
