Experience Details
Kamogawa Delta, where the Kamogawa and Takanogawa rivers meet, is a quiet Kyoto spot loved by locals for its calm riverbanks and views of distant blue mountains.
In this peaceful setting, you’ll step into one of Japan’s most enduring traditions: the tea ceremony.
A tea master with over 30 years of experience will welcome you into a small, simple tea room. The space is calm and unhurried, giving you time to settle in and connect with the tea ritual.
Your instructor will share the meaning and history behind the tea ceremony, drawing from years of practice and a deep respect for the art. You’ll enjoy a bowl of matcha while learning how each movement carries intention and care.
If you wish, you can also try making matcha yourself. The tea master will guide you through each step, from whisking the tea to preparing and serving it with care.
This experience is open to both beginners and those familiar with the tea ceremony, offering either a gentle introduction or a deeper appreciation of this timeless tradition.
