The traditional Japanese tea ceremony was a truly special experience. Each step was performed with care and precision, and we were given fascinating insights into the origins and meaning behind the practice. The atmosphere was calm and reflective, and the matcha tea was not only beautifully prepared but also rich and delicious.

The tea ceremony was excellent. Kana was pleasant and answered all our questions. We learnt a lot about Japanese culture. A tea ceremony is a must on your Trip to Japan. Highly recommend this tea ceremony. If you can get Kana then lucky you.

What a lovely way to learn about the tea ceremonies in Japan! The matcha was great and so were the little delicate sweets. We had a lovely host but I unfortunately forgot her name. Everyone had a great time and I can only recommend this activity :)
