Nana, my guide was very implicated and had prepared history of Mont Futaba (close to Hiroshima station. We climbed 500 steps and then rested fot the ceremony tea she prepared in the rules of art. She even let me master the ceremony tea. Of course, at this high, no kimono like in a private room. Both ceremony are different : our was casual but with the sunny view on Hiroshima.
