Fantastic tea ceremony 🍵The tea master was so friendly and attentive, an unforgettable experience of Japanese tradition that every visitor to Japan should have 😊
Great tea ceremonySuch a great experience, our guide was very knowledgeable and professional and so kind. She took the time to answer a lot of questions about a tea and it was so amazing. For a family of four with an 11-year-old and a 13-year-old and it was a great experience.

Tea ceremony and Japanese sweets making reviewThe tea ceremony was a really great experience. We made matcha and traditional Japanese sweets. Our host was very kind, easy to talk to and taught us a lot about the traditional tea ceremony. We had a great time. 100% recommend!
Wonderful!We had a wonderful experience learning about traditional Tea Ceremonies and making traditional Japanese sweets in a peaceful and relaxing setting. The host is VERY talented!
Tea-riffic!Fantastic! The tea ceremony was a beautiful, relaxing experience. Learned a lot about the historical and modern day customs around the ceremony. Got to make a sweet 'crystanthenum' from dyed white bean paste. That went well with the delicious frothy matcha that I can now expertly whip up. Yukako ...
Great experienceI can only say one thing - wonderful. The environment was very pleasant and the instructor took a lot of time for us and our questions. She spoke very good English and explained ales after the tea ceremony. She was also happy to answer general questions and her cheerful nature was refreshing.
