It was a superb experience for people who are interested in the tea ceremony, we could practice and get really complete explanations. Our host was lovely and perfectly accessible; we could ask them questions. There were no communication problems in English. It was really good; I recommend it to all curious people who wish to learn more about the way of tea.

Relaxing, yet informative experience.
We were delighted to meet the tea masters who guided us through this experience. The ceremony is very slow and thoughtful so some guests might find it tedious, but we found it relaxing and insightful to participate in Japanese culture for an hour.

Incredibly authentic experience
We did the Tea Ceremony Experience and it was genuinely one of the highlights of our trip. The setting was beautiful and peaceful, and the whole experience felt wonderfully authentic. Our host was warm, patient and incredibly knowledgeable, explaining the meaning behind each step in a way that was easy to follow and really engaging. It was hands-on, calming and thoughtfully paced, and we left feeling both relaxed and richer for having learned something special. If you’re in Kyoto and want a cultural experience that’s memorable (not touristy), I highly recommend.

Dear Andrew,
Thank you very much for joining our tea ceremony experience and writing a review for us. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the session and it became a part of your good memories in Japan.
We've all obtained the tea master's license and the most of the decoration and utensils are handed down from my tea master and my aunt who is the tea master as well.
It's our biggest pleasure you felt relaxed and comfortable here because that's the original meaning of the tea ceremony. We hope you'll be back to Kyoto and we'll see you again in the near future. Thank you so much!
Best Regards,
Kimi from Ami Kyoto
