I enjoyed the experience of the Matcha Tea Ceremony inside a long-established Kyoto house—it started by wearing the traditional Japanese Kimono. There were various patterns and colors to choose from, and the staff was kind to give recommendations on which one suits the best. With the staff's assistance wearing the kimono and getting adornments on my hair only took a few minutes, leaving plenty of time for taking pictures inside the house. They have many props and Japanese artifacts so you can take a beautiful traditional picture for your memories. In my case, the photographs were taken with my phone's camera, so I recommend bringing a good phone or professional camera to get the best of the experience.
The next part was the tea ceremony, which took around 20 minutes. We were led to a different room with "tatami" or a special Japanese floor. The ceremony is originally done sitting in seiza, a sitting position with your legs tucked in that can be painful after a while. But for this event, they allowed us to use special chairs to avoid being uncomfortable throughout the ceremony. Every part of the experience was done in English, all the staff are very good at speaking the language and explaining everything. The tea ceremony teacher was very professional in explaining the meaning of [茶道], "The way of tea" and why it is such a big part of Japanese culture. We were instructed on how to properly drink and prepare matcha tea too. This felt like a traditional experience to appreciate Japan. After the ceremony, there was time to take more pictures and walk around Kyoto in Kimono. Overall this was a good experience to have, it made me feel closer to Japanese beliefs, history, and way of life.

I had a blast at the tea ceremony! The staff were super friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. We got to join the tea ceremony while dressed in a kimono or yukata that we picked out ourselves, complete with accessories. The whole process of making and enjoying matcha was fun and memorable, thanks to the great instructions we received. The tea server was so elegant and graceful—watching her prepare the matcha was really impressive.

5 out of 5. I think it was great because I could choose my favorite kimono and they tied my hair properly. The tea ceremony was also very interesting. I was very happy to receive a birthday card. I'm glad I was able to participate.

Despite the rain, I decided to take a bus to attend a tea ceremony. Dressed in a kimono and with an elegant hairstyle, I was ready to immerse myself in the world of ancient traditions. The journey led me to a place where I witnessed the beauty of Japanese culture. We ascended to the heart of the ceremony, where we prepared matcha tea with our own hands. . It was truly unforgettable and inspiring. The staff is very friendly. Everything is at the highest level. I highly recommend visiting this wonderful place

My very first time participating in the tea ceremony in Kimono. The ceremony was enjoyable with meaningful explanation. After the ceremony, it is allowed to go out in Kimono to take some pictures around. All staffs were friendly and helped me take pictures a lot. They also speak English well and welcome their guests professionally. I received a nice picture of me as a souvenir from them. It was an unforgettable experience for me and highly recommended to experience.

I have been to a Japanese tea ceremony a few times but this was my first-time wearing a kimono. Enjoying the tea ceremony in a tranquil environment while wearing a kimono is simply exciting. The staff were so friendly, attentive and very good at spoken English. I highly recommend experiencing the Japanese tea ceremony here.

It was a peaceful and enjoyable time away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. All staffs are very friendly and welcoming. Not only did they help me put on a yukata, but also did my hair in a blink. The tea ceremony done by a tea master was amazing. She taught us how to make matcha tea and we did it by our own. The location was wonderful for both experience and taking pictures.
