We would even like to give more stars, Nana and teamaster Lily were wonderful in guiding us and telling Hiroshima stories. They are also very friendly with great personalities, making it a joy to spend time with them while climbing the mountain, using our 5 senses and experience a tea ceremony. As a group of two adults and two teens it can be a challenge to do something everyone enjous, but we unanimously say: best morning tour ever!!

What a lovely experience!
Soshin-san was so welcoming and hosted a wonderful private tea ceremony for my friend and I. She went through the process twice allowing us to familiarize ourselves, and then gave us multiple opportunities to make our own matcha. Soshin-san was always friendly and spoke English well to guide us. It was a delightful time and we got good photos and delicious tea.
I would definitely recommend booking this experience!
