Kyoto: 45-Minute Tea Ceremony Lesson Experience

You will take you place on the tatami, the traditional Japanese floor mat and be met by your English-speaking host, who is a licensed tea master from Urasenke, the biggest school of tea ceremony in Japan.

First, watch as the host carries out the ceremonial preparation of matcha, powdered green tea. Then, you will have the chance to make tea yourself, while the host informs you about the history and spiritual role of the tea ceremony and the effects each tea-making method has on its flavor. Afterwards, savor some traditional Japanese sweets.

Once the ceremony has come to a close, you will have the chance to take photos and see examples of kimonos and beautiful woven textiles made in the Nishijin district of Kyoto. If you'd like to wear a kimono during the experience, you can select it as an add-on during booking and take photos to remember the experience.

Tea Ceremony Koto has the concept that Even the guests are foreigners, don’t arrange for the tourists but teach as same as Japanese beginners since 2015, when we opened this tea ceremony lesson.

This means we would like to inform “the real tea ceremony “ to foreigners as Japanese people experience. To inform the real experience, we have to tell the basic rules for sure.
