Description
This experience is great for those who are interested in the Japanese traditional cultures and you will have an immersive cultural experience. The experience is offered by a tea master who gives more than 1000 lessons a year to local learners, and she will give you the explanations of the history and the background of the Japanese tea ceremony. You will participate in the whole tea-making procedure, not just the tea-drinking part. You can make your own bowl of tea, and can learn the tips on how to make good tea, so you can make tasty Matcha even at home! You will also have the opportunity to purchase the tea that was used at the G7 summit 2023 and the bamboo whisk on site.

A Deeper Appreciation of Japanese Tea Culture
The tea ceremony experience was truly fascinating. Beyond learning how to prepare matcha, I especially enjoyed discovering the rich history and philosophy behind the Japanese Way of Tea. It was both educational and inspiring, and it gave me a deeper appreciation for this important cultural tradition.
The location is slightly outside the city center, but it's only about a 5–10 minute taxi ride away, making it very easy to reach. The short trip is well worth it for such an authentic and enriching experience. I highly recommend this tea ceremony to anyone interested in Japanese culture and traditions.

Private Tea Ceremony
Give yourself plenty of time to arrive. The room is on the second floor. The ceremony is very organized and we felt absolutely comfortable with our minimal Japanese. You will have an amazing time and learn so much! Highly recommend!

Very nice experience in Hiroshima
We had a great experience with Kay who introduced us to "the way of tea" and showed us how to prepare our tea after tasting a pastry.
She also answered many of our questions about tea growing in Japan but also about the language, Japanese traditions etc. It was a very good time that we recommend to everyone.

Very well explained, professional presentation.
It was upstairs, need a sign at ground level, we were early to area but late due to walking looking for sign.
