Would you like to brew your own delicious tea?

In most tea ceremony workshops, you are not allowed to handle tea utensils. However, in the hands-on classes we host, you can actually touch the utensils and learn the process of brewing tea from scratch.

The instructor is a master of the Higashi Abe school. They have taught many students, so they will gently and carefully teach you how to make tea.

You are also welcome to take as many pictures as you like to make your experience memorable. We hope you will make your trip to Japan a memorable and enjoyable one.

We had a 10 am reservation. There was nobody at location. We waited and waited. Nobody showed up.
Do not go here, pick a place that keeps track of their bookings.
We did not get a ceremony.
Very disappointed.
No we need to get a refund from Expedia.

It was a great way to spent the afternoon learning about the Sencha-do Japanese Tea Ceremony. We were amazed how many different tea ceremonies exist and how long it takes to learn them.

This experience exceeded my expectations. Our host was so friendly and knowledgeable, and made it really engaging. We already bought a tea set so we can have our own tea ceremony at home.

10/10 would go back - and the tea was great too :D

Very fulfilling experience! I learned a lot, not just about how the ceremony is conducted but Japanese culture and history explaining why, thanks to the instructor (friendly and communicated everything clearly).

My friend and I had a really enjoyable time. Being able to chat and ask questions to the host throughout the ceremony made it even more interesting. The read was delicious too!

We found the tea school easily by the advice from the host. We were touring the Kitano area and close to the great Kitano Tenman Shrine there is the Kyoto branch of Higashiaberyu Sencha school. We were greeted by the young master (wakasoushou) of the school himself. He had specifically travelled from Tokyo to instruct us. In the waiting room we received cooling cold tea and were treated to a short video explanation of the history of this special tea ceremony. Afterwards, we received a demonstration of a casual and enjoyable Sencha ceremony. After that, a hands on workshop for brewing the tea was conducted and we enjoyed a chance to ask questions and received certificates for completing the workshop.
