Experience Details
There are so many things to see and do in Kyoto, it can be a little overwhelming! So take a break from the busy sightseeing spots of the city to experience the zen of a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Located near the popular site of Kiyomizu-dera Temple, its convenient location makes it a great place to slow down and enjoy a quiet moment.
Before the ceremony, the host will give a brief overview of the rich history and cultural significance of the tea ceremony. You’ll enjoy a seasonal sweet and learn how to prepare your own bowl of matcha using a bamboo whisk. You’ll learn all about the different steps of the ceremony. The quiet ceremony and delicious matcha will leave you feeling peaceful and refreshed.
To enjoy a more immersive experience, kimono rentals are available. There’s even an option to dress as a geisha or a samurai! You’ll look the part while enjoying the ceremony, and can take photos that will make a great souvenir of your time in Kyoto.
