The tea ceremony is a traditional Japanese practice and symbolizes the spirit of “omotenashi” (hospitality).
A professional tea master will carefully guide you through the process.
Wearing a kimono and preparing tea in an authentic tea room offers a peaceful and reflective moment to connect with yourself.
The seasonal sweets served alongside the tea are delicacies sourced from the famous Kyoto confectioner, Kofukudo.

Even beginners can participate with confidence as our staff provides careful support.
The process of grinding ink and using the brush offers a calming experience, allowing you to reflect inward.
You will also have the chance to write your name in kanji and take home a beautiful, personalized piece of art as a souvenir.
