It was the best experience! We were a large family of 7 people. They took great care of us. We all had so much fun. It was by far the best. Our kids are still talking about the experience they had at the Samurai House.
Amazing hosts, friendly, professional and dedicated to the Japanese tradition. Would recommend to everyone who wants to experience a piece of history. Thank you to the lovely hosts.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our traditional Japanese tea ceremony. We loved the family that hosted us in their 300 year old home. The entire experience was educational and fun and one that we will always remember.
We had a wonderful time at the tea ceremony and getting to wear one of the lovely kimonos. They were very friendly to work with. Would definitely recommend!
This experience was absolutely incredible. The most beautiful people with the most beautiful culture.
It was an amazing experience, highly recommend! The hosts were so welcoming and shared so much history and knowledge with us, we learned so much. One of our favourite experiences while in Japan.
Such a lovely experience hosted by a lovely couple and a very experienced tea master. The Samurai house is rich in history and the garden is so nice to have your matcha. We opted for the Sake tasting afterward which was great. Great experience and a well-run establishment!!
A very adorable couple hosting a tea ceremony in their house that has been passed down for generations. It’s very relaxed and they were lovely! Also have a great collection of vintage kimonos! Would recommend.
Excellent experience to learn about traditional tea service and allows for a more immersive cultural experience
This was an absolutely amazing experience. From the tea ceremony, to the sake tasting, to the beautiful kimonos we were allowed to rent, I would HIGHLY recommend this experience for anyone coming to Japan. We felt like the care was so personalized, and there were such amazing backstories to everything that we were doing! Thank you for this beautiful experience!
