Are there any food or drink restrictions I should know about?

The tea and sweets are traditional and may include ingredients like beans or flour. If you have allergies or dietary needs, please mention them when booking so we can try to accommodate.

Can people with limited mobility join the tour?

In most cases, yes. However, traditional tea rooms may require sitting on tatami mats. If you have mobility concerns, please inform the host in advance so accommodations (such as a chair) can be arranged if available.

What makes this tea ceremony different from others?

This tour emphasizes not just form, but also the spirit of Zen behind each action. You’ll gain insight into the cultural and philosophical roots of the ceremony, not just learn the movements.

Will we get a chance to ask questions during the experience?

Absolutely. The guide and tea master welcome questions throughout the session. It’s an interactive and educational experience meant to deepen your understanding.

Who leads the tea ceremony?

The experience is led by a nationally qualified tea master with tea ceremony experience and cultural training.

Thank you again! Only the signage should be better

Very quiet and educational event in a pleasant atmosphere. We were also able to ask many questions and conduct our own tea ceremony.
