Wonderful experience

They were all very nice and made the experience unforgettable. We learned a lot from Hana and Masako and they were very welcoming and eager to teach. Thank you so much for everything!

Relaxing and peaceful experience in Kyoto

It was a great experience in Kyoto. Hana was a great sensei teaching us the ways of calligraphy and how to properly hold the brush. It was a fun and relaxing activity. Then, we got to learn and be in the ceremonial tea experience with Masako. She really made sure that we felt part of it all and to answer all our questions of the tea-making process and the old house both. I highly recommend this activity on your stay in Kyoto
