A truly beautiful and educational experience with a wonderfully kind tea master. Aya and her husband talked us through the ceremony and patiently answered our questions. When they saw that we are older people , and my husband with a bad back, stools were produced for our comfort.
An unexpected bonus was that Aya’s husband took a number of photos during the ceremony which he later shared with us as lovely souvenirs of a memorable hour or so.

Our Tea Master was superb. We were made to feel honored and welcome in her home. The whole experience was very special indeed - a truly memorable and meaningful experience. Thank you to Viator as well for enabling this at such short notice

Aya was the perfect hostess. She explained everything beautifully, and gently guided us through the whole process. We walked away with a great deal of appreciation for the ritual, and for her as well, given how many years she has been training to do this perfectly. One of the highlights of our visit to Kyoto!

While I anticipated wearing a kimono as outlined in my booking, I found the tea ceremony experience to be truly exceptional.

This was a highlight of our two weeks in Japan! Very knowledgeable and inspired me to creat my own matcha and ritual. The matcha was delicious and she spoke very good English and was so patient with us. I would highly recommend. Also a great location; you can walk to Nijo castle afterwards.

This was an incredible experience to get to share and learn about the art of tea and participate in a tea ceremony (including making tea ourselves) from a Tea Master herself.

This was a great experience - definitely one of the highlights of our 10 day trip to Japan. Well worth it if you are in Kyoto. Not only was it a fun time but she took many great pictures for us to remember the occasion.
