This is my best recommendation in Kyoto!
✨Having the entire house all to ourselves was absolutely amazing❤️
When I tried a matcha experience elsewhere before, it was crowded with strangers and felt rushed, like we were just being pushed through a routine😭
But here, we could take our time chatting and truly relax. We also learned so much about Japanese culture that you can't find online. It made our trip to Japan so much more unforgetable✨✨
This is my best recommendation in Kyoto! I’m definitely coming back, and I can't wait to see the two wonderful hosts again💖
Operator response
Thank you very much for your heartwarming words!
We were deeply moved by your deep respect for Japanese culture.
We will never forget how happy you looked when we wrote your name down for you! Creating a peaceful, unhurried space where our guests can truly relax is exactly what we strive for.
We are delighted to know that our private matcha experience made your trip so special.
It was an honor for both of us to host you, and we sincerely look forward to welcoming you back to your home in Kyoto! 💖
