My brother and I were able to experience our first traditional Japanese tea ceremony with Rika-san during our first ever trip to Japan on April 5 during the full bloom of the Sakura on a sunny day.
The location is a beautiful tea house located in Kouyama Garden, a small little green and peaceful oasis. It was breathtaking and provided a special backdrop to the tea ceremony.

It was an amazing, once in a lifetime experience! Rika is an adorable and kind hostess.

This was my very first tea ceremony and I really enjoyed it! I booked the kimono option and it was wonderful to take part in the experience dressed in traditional attire. The venue is so peaceful, I felt like I was in Kyoto. The matcha was delicious and the seasonal sweets were almost too beautiful to eat. Thank you so much, Rika-san, for your kind hospitality!

2 hours went by so fast. We enjoyed wearing the kimono and learning how to whisk matcha. The garden and tea ceremony room were very beautiful. We were in Tokyo but it felt like we were transported to Kyoto. The experience seemed expensive at first, but between the cost of the kimono (which would be a few thousand yen for renting alone) to the 2-hour time in the tea ceremony room, it was definitely worth it!

We had a wonderful experience with Rika learning about the tea ceremony, enjoying tea and sweets and wearing beautiful Kimono. The garden is a perfect environment for the ceremony. Arigato Rika.
