Great tea ceremony

Such 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

Amazing experience, book it

Fantastic, personal experience on the history of matcha and how to make it. We spent way over our hour with Valerie chatting about all things matcha and Japan. Highly recommend doing when in Japan.

Chopstick Workshop

Great experience, learnt about all kinds of woods as well as different shaving techniques. Was even able to engrave my own chopsticks afterwards. Likely will come back for a harder challenge.
