Workshop Agenda

Kimono Selection and Dressing

Begin the experience by choosing your preferred kimono from a wide collection. Staff will assist with dressing to ensure a comfortable and authentic fit. Hair styling is included in the experience, so you can fully enjoy the traditional look before moving on to the next activity.

• Duration: 45 minutes

Traditional Tea Ceremony Experience

After changing into your kimono, move to a tea room for a traditional tea ceremony. An English-speaking instructor explains the background and basic etiquette of the ceremony. You will then prepare matcha yourself using traditional tools and enjoy it alongside Japanese sweets from a long-established shop.

Optional Cultural Activity

After the tea ceremony, continue with the activity included in your selected plan. Some plans allow you to experience Japanese calligraphy, where you practice brush writing, while others include a gold leaf craft. During the gold leaf experience, you decorate a small plate using real gold leaf and take it home as a souvenir.
