- justinkX193YS0 contributionsTea CeremonyOverall we had a great experience and I do recommend them. Our host was knowledgable and entertaining. The company did have the feel of being slightly unorganized.Written October 28, 2024
- zebra00720170 contributionsUnforgettable experienceThis was an amazing experience. From the dressing up, the history of a tea ceremony and being part of the ceremony. I did this with my sister and we both thought it was an absolute highlight. You get to wear your kimono up to 18H00 on the day. If that is something you wish to do, book an early session to get the most out of it. Highly recommend this experience.Written October 28, 2024
- 96sagen0 contributionsIncredibly relaxing and beautiful experienceI highly recommend this Tea Ceremony experience, even if you are travelling solo like me. Every staff member was so kind and I felt very comfortable. Learning about the important history of tea ceremonies in Japanese culture while wearing a traditional Kimono was a very special moment that was worth the price! Our host was very funny and beautiful too. Please don’t miss out on something so beautiful ❤️Written October 20, 2024
- CharOx0 contributionsGreat value experienceA really lovely experience. I always worry that these tourist experiences will feel like a conveyor belt, but they put you into small groups and it still feels intimate and not rushed. I think it's a really good price for the combined tea ceremony, kimono and ninja Samurai museumWritten October 19, 2024
- josipt4380 contributionsAuthentic tea ceremony experience in kimonosThis was a great experience that we would recommend to everyone. First you get dressed in a kimmono of your choice. Girls also get a hairdo. Our tea ceremony was guided by Chihiro. She explained every step in detail and gave us some insight into the meaning of tea ceremony. It was a trully authentic and tranquil experience!Written October 18, 2024
