It was a great experience! Fun to dress up in a traditional kimono. And was greatly informative on the traditional tea ceremony. Great participation. So much fun and great photo opportunity’s.
Everything was great. From the kimonos, the photos with them, to the tea ceremony. 100% recommended
Excellent experience for someone new to Japan who wants to understand the history of tea culture especially in Kyoto
Great experience! The family that hosted the tea ceremony had a wealth of knowledge. They were also extremely kind and answered any questions we had about the ceremony. I have admit as a 5’10 woman I was worried about kimono options but they were very inclusive and had plenty. Also, the team did a great job styling my braids.
Beautiful tradition. Having tea with our tea master was one of our Kyoto highlights. Getting dressed in the kimono is a wonderfully orchestrated process. You pick the color of your kimono and then your lovely team take it from there. Within minutes you are looking stunning in hour kimono. It’s a feeling you should really experience. Lots of photo opportunities. Tea service is rich in tradition. Highly recommend.
It is an unforgettable experience. The treatment from everyone is wonderful, you feel like a princess and they take photos of you. They are very kind. If you can do it during your trip it is very worth it, it is all so traditional but at the same time fun. The teas and sweets were delicious but truly what is most worth it is the quality of the people who serve you. They make you feel comfortable, beautiful, and you are left with incredible memories.
A definite highlight of the trip. What an amazing experience! Our hostess was knowledgeable and very personable.
Amazing experience. A traditional tea Ceremony with a tea Master, then taught me, guided me making tea for my Husband. Such a great Honor.
