Authentic Japanese Tea Ceremony Experience in Kyoto

Step into the meditative world of chado (the Way of Tea) with this intimate tea ceremony experience hosted in a traditional Kyoto machiya townhouse. A certified tea master guides you through each graceful movement — from the preparation of matcha using a bamboo whisk to the art of receiving and savoring your tea. Learn the philosophy of wabi-sabi and ichi-go ichi-e that underpins this 400-year-old practice. Seasonal wagashi (traditional sweets) are paired with your tea. Available in both traditional kimono-clad and casual formats.
