We had such a beautiful private tea ceremony experience during our time in Kyoto. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable, and made the entire experience feel very personal and special for my boyfriend and I.
The ceremony itself was peaceful, elegant, and so educational, we learned so much about the history, traditions, and meaning behind each step of the tea ceremony. She explained everything so thoughtfully and made us feel very comfortable asking questions throughout.
She also prepared wonderful traditional treats for us that paired perfectly with the tea and were absolutely delicious. You can truly tell how much care and passion she puts into the experience.
This ended up being one of the most memorable and meaningful parts of our trip to Japan. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Kyoto who wants something authentic, calming, and deeply cultural.
