Esperienza la Vera Cerimonia del Tè a Kyoto

Naomi welcomed us into her home to immediately convey calm and serenity. With grace and skill, she explained all the steps of the tea ceremony after dressing us in traditional kimonos. Next, we took turns preparing the tea, and finally, we enjoyed it together with traditional sweets. An authentic experience, and in hindsight, I would say 'necessary' during our visit to Kyoto!

This experience was calming after all of the hustle and bustle of navigating public transportation all trip. Naomi was very knowledgeable and answered our questions thoroughly. The kimono I wore was beautiful. Make sure you arrive at the earlier time if you rent the kimono. I made the mistake of letting it slip my mind and arrived close to the tea ceremony time; however, Naomi worked diligently and still squeezed in the dress up and photo experience for me. I could not be more grateful. Overall, I 100% recommend this experience because it felt authentic and thoughtful rather than flashy and touristy.

The hostess was a very pleasant person and she did it really well. We had a fantastic experience. Much better than expected. Getting on a kimono was very exciting and much more comprehensive than we imagined.

Naomi and her helper were amazing. From helping with the Kimono, to taking pictures and answering every question! Naomi was elegant during her presentation and tea ritual. She kindly answer my “so many questions”. I totally recommend this experience!

Naomi was very detailed explaining the meaning of every step and the history behind the original long ceremony. She helped us to take nice pictures. She is flexible and doesn’t put any pressure, making sure we enjoy the experience. We will recommend her to to our friends coming here next time.

We were thrilled with the tea cermony we had with Naomi. The location is wonderful and quiet and on entering, you can see the lovely gardens around the property. We were dressed in our kimonos and then walked around the gardens for photos and quiet contemplation. The ceremony was explained very well and we got to first sample some of the matcha tea with the very tasty sweets before making our own. The ritual of it all is quite meditative and we were encouraged to focus on the task. It was a wonderfully rejuvenating experience and welcome down-time from Kyoto city and the touristic hustle and bustle. We would highly recommend this to anyone.

Welcome Charming. Authenticity, Japanese art of living. Beautiful house Right next to the beautiful temple of Ninna ji Recommend without hesitation!

Naomi was so welcoming and provided a wonderful experience of culture and tradition! We loved dressing in beautiful kimonos, taking pictures, and learning about matcha!

An amazing and serene experience. Naomi was so welcoming and knowledgeable. She made the experience memorable, serene, and enjoyable. The Matcha was high quality and delicious! The sweets were amazing, soft mochi with fruit and a small cookie. The garden in the back was very serene and perfect for pictures. Highly Recommended!

Naomi is lovely and the ceremony is away from all of the chaos. Very nice! Delicious sweet treats as well.
