Step into the quiet charm of a 150-year-old traditional townhouse and enjoy an authentic Japanese tea ceremony in comfort. This unique experience takes place in a beautifully preserved wooden home, where history and culture come to life. Unlike traditional tea ceremonies on tatami floors, this one is designed with tables and chairs, making it easier for everyone to enjoy—no need to sit on the floor. Your host will guide you through each step, explaining the meaning and customs behind every movement.

As you sip matcha and taste seasonal sweets, you'll learn about the deep traditions of Japanese hospitality and mindfulness. The calm setting and warm atmosphere offer a peaceful escape from the busy city. Whether you're new to tea ceremonies or already curious about Japanese culture, this experience offers a gentle and memorable way to connect with Japan’s rich heritage.

Excellent experience in learning Japanese Tea Ceremony

What a wonderful experience learning about the Japanese Tea Ceremony! Our tea master was artful and graceful in his demonstration. His assistance translated in English. He also demonstrated how to make match tea. They were very patient with all of our questions. The 100 year old house was beautiful! The tea master comes from 17 generations of tea masters! We did this with my 75 year old mother so tables and chairs was a bonus! Highly recommend!

You shouldn't miss it.

An oasis of tranquillity in the middle of the crowded Gion district. An outstanding tea master with a charming assistant have taken us wonderfully into the world of tea.
