Highly recommended as a contrast to the exhausting city tour!
It was a very nice communal experience. Harmony and tranquility were the focus. Our 'teacher' guided us through it wonderfully and very congenially, step by step, and always involved us as a group in a very appreciative way.

Relaxing Experience in Kyoto!
Had a great experience! Learned about the culture of tea in Japan and was a relaxing activity after all the busyness during our trip. Our host Kiyoka was so friendly and easy to talk to, she’s was amazing. Can’t recommend this enough!
An Extraordinary, Soulful Experience in a Historic townhouse
If you are looking for an authentic, intentional experience in Kyoto, do not miss this. Located in a central but wonderfully quiet 100-year-old house, it feels like a secret treasure.
We were guided by Hana, whose immense knowledge and gentle spirit made the session deeply impactful. The entire ceremony possessed a mesmerizing, dance-like quality. It was incredibly moving to see how much purpose was woven into every single movement.
This experience perfectly blends traditional custom with a calming, meditative flow. Hana masterfully showed us how to wrap everyday tasks in a layer of purpose, giving us the tools to exalt the ordinary. An absolute highlight of our trip that we will carry with us for a long time

Your description of the ceremony's "dance-like quality" and the idea of "exalting the ordinary" captures the very soul of what we strive to share. It is a beautiful gift to host guests who look so deeply into the subtle grace of each movement and find a lasting connection to the meditative philosophy behind it.
Hana is deeply honored by your kind words. Knowing that this experience became a highlight of your trip and a feeling you will carry with you for a long time is the greatest reward we could ever hope for.
