We enjoyed a wonderful experience with the tea master. We leaned so much and about the importance of the ceremony in Japanese culture as well as preparing tea ourselves. とても啓発的な経験でした。先生、ありがとう...John and Carol

Aya has a beautiful and authentic tea room and is a very knowledgeable and friendly host. She was very sweet and enjoyable to chat with and walked us through every detail of the traditional tea ceremony. It is very clear that she has been studying this art for a long time and enjoys sharing her knowledge with others who are interested. She also has a beautiful collection of handmade tea cups to browse through. She is fantastic and I would recommend her to anyone that is interested in learning how to do traditional Kyoto tea ceremonies!
