Original Japanese Tea ceremony - Blows my mind
The tea ceremony is in Japanese due to its original scenery. Nevertheless I got a translator set by my side who translated to Englisch in parallel. Overall it was blowing my mind how many rules are behind the Japanese teas ceremony, but it was conveyed in a very interesting way. Instructors were all very nice and supportive.
Also the according Matcha cafe in the second floor hs a very good quality and friendly personal.
Overall two thumbs up for this experience.
