Kyoto Tea Ceremony & Matcha Making TIA KiyomizuChawanzakaShop

Absolute fantastic and superb! Tea ceremony & kimono renting experience, facilities and environments were amazing, entertaining, educational and highly recommended! All the staffs from the TIA Kiyomizu chawanzaka branch were so friendly, helpful and professional.

This was one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to Japan. The tea ceremony was beautiful, peaceful, and very authentic. I especially loved being able to choose my own kimono, which made the experience feel even more special and personal. The staff were kind and welcoming, and they explained everything with great care. I learned a lot about Japanese culture and enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended!

The matcha ceremony was great. Irma was so great and nice teacher. All the staffs were friendly and nice. I came alone, and when waiting for my husband to pick up, they allowed me to wait for my husband in my kimono. So my husband can see me wearing kimono. very recommended.

My girlfriend and I booked this package. let me tell you! it was a very nice experience! the staff was very friendly! helped us pick out our kimonos! took photos for us with our phones. The tea ceremony was just us and the tea master, she was very nice, energetic and informative! It was nice chatting it up with her! and learning about how to make proper matcha and proper etiquete. after we walked around the area for a couple hours taking photos by the pagod. Seeing other guys and ladies dress up in kimonos made you feel like you walked back in time a little. we would definitely come back!

We had the best experience today with the tea ceremony and kimono fitting. 9 of us attended, 5 men and 3 women. Us women asked if we could add on the hair option, this wasn’t an issue at all and they kindly fitted us in to pay a bit extra to have our hair done. We were all fitted for kimonos and then taken to the tea ceremony. They have a range of beautiful designs to choose from. The host explained the culture of matcha and showed us how to make it. We were able to take lots of photos and videos. We had such a lovely time here today. Thank you so much for hosting us. Would recommend if you are in Kyoto.

kind staff and beautiful kimono options! they are great with hair styling and are very accommodating to anything you need.

Had a great time today at our class! Lilisa was a great instructor. Her English was excellent and she helped us understand how to properly prepare matcha. We left the class with a greater understanding of the tea ceremony and felt prepared to make our own matcha at home. Highly recommend!

Such an amazing experience! The tea ceremony and matcha making experience was truly unforgettable. The staff was super nice and welcoming, and everything was explained so well. I loved learning how matcha is made the instructor did an awesome job explaining the process and traditions behind it. My makeup and hair came out so beautiful, and the outfits were absolutely gorgeous! It honestly felt like a backstage experience getting ready. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Kyoto definitely a memory I’ll never forget! ✨🍵🇯🇵

Lovely experience and the fact you are on your own with no one else makes it all the more special. this shorter than average tour was just the right amount of time to suit our trip. if you're after an in-depth longer experience, this is not the tea ceremony for you.

We had a wonderful experience, so much fun!! one recommendation is to use Google Maps to find location, as Apple map directed us to a residential location around the corner.
