Wonderful experience and a lovely insight into the amazing Japanese culture. I loved the ceremony and got to wear a beautiful kimono with the option of wearing it for the rest of the afternoon if I wished. I highly recommend this experience. The ladies were all so friendly, warm and very helpful. I had a fantastic time.

Tea ceremony in a Nishijin townhouse
Tea experience, first time! I learned a lot from the tea ceremony teacher. Not just knowledge of the tea ceremony, but also Japanese manners! The matcha has a mellow taste, it's not bitter at all!I grasped the essence of "Wa Kei Sei Jaku." Thank you
You can sincerely experience Japanese matcha and gain deep insight into a 150-year-old machiya.
The store staff speaks English and is very polite. From the introduction before entering the tea room to enjoying the matcha with sweets in the tea room, you can learn some details about the Japanese tea ceremony; it's really great!
The tea ceremony experience with Juraku was very pleasant. The sweet and matcha were delicious and the traditional Japanese house where the experience took place was amazing. The English explanation was limited but people who can't speak Japanese can still enjoy this experience.

Kyoto Tea Experience
I really enjoyed this experience. I really liked the traditional machiya because it was beautiful and had a very traditional Kyoto atmosphere. I also enjoyed watching the tea preparation. It was very calm and relaxing. The seasonal sweet was also very beautiful and tasted really good with the matcha. My favorite part was making my own matcha. It was my first time, so it was a little difficult, but it was really interesting and fun. Overall, I learned more about Japanese tea culture and had a really nice time.

Learn a lot in a short time and try tea and wagashi as a bonus!
It was a great experience! The tea master is wonderful and you get to taste a matcha of the highest quality. You can also try wagashi which was delicious. But most importantly, you learn the basics of tea ceremony and Japanese good manners in a short time and in a great environment. Yuki also speaks English so she can help translate if you have any questions!

Juraku's Tea Ceremony was an AMAZING experience!!!
I had a wonderful experience at Juraku! The staff was very kind, and the tea ceremony was easy to follow along with. The tea master took her time to answer all of the questions I had; the assistant knew English so it was easy to get my messages across. I'd highly recommend trying Juraku out! They were extremely personable and highly conscious of individuals needs.
Also, the treat they served before serving the tea was delicious :)
