Fukuoka 餐食體驗

It was a great experience. The matcha was of very good quality and the two women wo made the matcha and thought us how to do it were super kind and we had much fun talking to them. One of them was also very good at talking in english, so we would recommend this for foreigners also. We also felt very safe while learning the traditions of drinking tea - the hostes thought us with patience and calm. We would absolutely do it again because the hostes and atmosphere (and of course the matcha) were so great.

I’m visiting from the United States, and this was one of the most meaningful experiences of my trip. The hosts were incredibly warm, patient, and knowledgeable, and they made me feel truly welcome from the moment I arrived. They gently guided me through each step of the tea ceremony and shared the beautiful history and cultural meaning behind the tradition. I was especially touched by the care and intention behind every movement. It helped me appreciate how the tea ceremony is not just about drinking tea, but about mindfulness, respect, and connection. The hosts were also so kind to help me take photos so I could remember such a special moment. One of the hosts also provided me with a gift at the end for Goodluck, which I am very appreciative for. If you are visiting Fukuoka, I highly recommend taking part in this experience. It was peaceful, beautiful, and gave me a deeper appreciation for Japanese culture that I will carry with me long after my trip. <3

I was very happy that I chose the tea ceremony with Chihiro. She was very authentic and kind as a person, and everything went smoothly. It was a wonderful encounter with Japanese tradition as it is truly lived – not presented in an artificial or distant way, but in a very human, warm, and approachable manner, while still carrying a deep spiritual touch.

We were picked up at the statue from our host and had a nice chat with her until reaching the premises (5 min by foot) where the experience took place. Our host kindly explained the structure of the experience and also gave us a brief history and explanation of the craft and why she has an interest in tea ceremonies. The matcha and the sweets were really good and we had a fun and interesting experience. Arigatou gozaimasu!

A wonderful tea ceremony with Chihiro and her husband in Fukuoka 🍵 We came as a couple and had an unforgettable experience with Chihiro and her husband, who warmly welcomed us and guided us through the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Chihiro explained everything very clearly in English, making it easy to understand and follow each gesture. Both of them were kind, patient, and attentive, creating a calm and authentic atmosphere. It was a beautiful, peaceful, and meaningful introduction to Japanese culture. Thank you so much, Chihiro and your husband, for this memorable and heartfelt experience. 🙏🍵 福岡での素晴らしい茶道体験 🍵 私たちはカップルで参加し、ちひろさんご夫妻のおかげで忘れられない時間を過ごしました。お二人はとても温かく迎えてくださり、伝統的な茶道の作法を丁寧に教えてくれました。ちひろさんは英語でとても分かりやすく説明してくれたので、安心して楽しむことができました。 穏やかで本格的な雰囲気の中で、日本文化の美しさと心を感じました。優しさと細やかな心配りに心から感謝します。🙏🍵

Very amazing experience with the warm hospitality!! Highly recommended if you’d like to experience the authentic local culture.

I had a wonderful time learning from Chihiro! She is warm, knowledgeable, and her English is exceptional, which made everything easy to follow. Whether you’re interested in chado, want to learn how to prepare matcha properly, or simply enjoy a good cup of tea, this class is an absolute must.

We had a nice time with chihiro. Good tea ceremony experience!

Excellent experience. Very relaxing and thoughtful. The host was very informative and helpful. She also taught me how to perform part of the ceremony myself, so I felt very engaged and I learned a lot.

The tea ceremony was very enjoyable and worth every penny! Chihiro (our host) and her friend were very cheerful and made the experience educational and relaxing. Me and my partner especially enjoyed the part where we got to make the tea according to the ceremony. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic experience with Chihiro and her husband. Chihiro is a true tea master, and we learned so much about the Chado ceremony and the making of matcha. They were both so kind and helpful as well. This was one of the highlights of our whole trip to Japan. The experience was very private and personalized, so we got to truly enjoy the serenity of a real Japanese tea ceremony. The tea itself and the accompanying treats were delicious. By far the best matcha I've ever had. I highly recommend this experience!

We found our tea experience to be wonderful and very special. We learnt about the matcha tea rituals, and the meanings associated with it all. Our host was delightful and very informative. We loved every minute of our time with her. I highly recommend doing this experience.
