Memorable experience in Osaka!

This was such a special experience for my adult daughter and I, and the team here were exceptional! From helping us select the perfect Kimonos for each of us, helping us dress in them, the patience and encouragement during our calligraphy lesson and the peaceful atmosphere of the tea ceremony- it couldn’t have been a more perfect experience overall. One of our favorite memories of our trip to Japan thus far. Thank you!

Wonderful cultural experience

Perfect exposure to key aspects of Japanese culture (calligraphy and the tea ceremony) while ensuring fun time in traditional dress. Our hostess, Sachi, was so friendly and knowledgeable. She ensured we had a lasting memory of our wonderful experience. Highly recommend if you are looking to get a taste of what traditional Japan is about.

Loved this activity. The...

Loved this activity. The location was easy to find. It was such a beautiful calm and peaceful experience. We felt incredibly glammed up in our kimonos and hair styling. The tea ceremony was very spirital and we sort of mastered the calligraphy and had excellent tuition. It is close to a shopping centre for lunch and shopping afterwards.

Osaka tea ceremony and calligraphy lesson in kimonos

This is an excellent way to experience a few traditional Japanese traditions in a very welcoming and cosy environment. The hosts spoke English so it was very interactive. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend. If you're unsure just book it and see for yourself.

Highly recommend prioritizing experiencing this in your trip!

My wife, daughter, and I had such a beautiful experience here. From getting to pick out our Kimono pieces, to trying our hand at writing some calligraphy, to learning how to carry out the traditional tea ceremony and making our own tea, every aspect of the evening was so enjoyable and insightful. Our host was very warm and kind and took so many great photos and videos for us that we now get to cherish! Definitely will be recommending this experience to friends who visit Osaka in the future.

Japan in Kimono

An exciting experience. Choosing and putting on a kimono made it all special. The rice manager was super nice and guided us well.
