We were warmly welcomed by Keiko and seated in a room looking out onto a beautiful garden. She led us through the process of making sweets with red bean paste centers. We silently watched her perform the tea ceremony and enjoyed the matcha tea she made. We then had the opportunity to try tea making ourselves. We appreciated Keiko’s kindness and the history of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony.

The hostesses performing the tea ceremony were excellent - very engaged and good instructors when we had the make the tea ourselves. The calligraphy option was a bonus. However, it did feel very crowded in the house and it seemed that those who chose to rent a kimono and sat apart from those who didn’t, had a different experience. It might be good to have the people who rent kimonos for the tea ceremony to have their own ceremony.

Cool Location. The tea master is authentic and takes a lot of time to explain everything. He shows the spirit of the tea. You can process the tea yourself. Highly recommended.

The whole experience and hospitality was simply amazing. We got great kimonos, wonderful eats in the beginning, a slide show explaining the rituals of tea - followed by tea making . Each of us then got to choose from various activities like calligraphy, matcha making and miniature zen garden model making
