Tanja speaks fluent German, English, and Japanese, which makes communication much easier. The magical setting for their tea ceremony is a 400-year-old samurai family home. You can feel her passion for tea and Japanese culture in every one of her gestures. This passion, combined with her knowledge, makes a tea ceremony with Tanja a unique experience. Moreover, as Tanja says, Miwa is the cradle of high Japanese culture in many ways. So, if you are looking for a tea ceremony away from the touristy options and are willing to take a few minutes by train, you will be more than rewarded here. I highly recommend this activity and will return for this relaxing ceremony in the future.
