Reviews
Incredible experience! Yuma-sen was an excellent Tea-Master and created a harmonious and pleasant tea making experience. It was so special to create our own cup of traditional Japanese tea in a beautiful ceremony. 10/10 would recommend !
Great experience! We were lucky and there were only three of us! A very friendly and accommodating host with a wealth of knowledge! The location is a bit out of the way, and the area is a bit deserted during the day! So, it's recommended to arrive on time and not plan time to wander around beforehand.
it’s in ANKOAN building. near the sushi restaurant if I’m not mistaken. near the bus station and we had 5 mins walk going there. Yuka-san was approachable and friendly. and she gave us cold tea instead of a warm one since it was extremely hot that time haha! we felt like we are in different era when she started the tea ceremony. it’s so cutteee!! and it was an incredible experience. you need to have patience!! 🤣🤣🤣 FYI, making the matcha tea was tough (we broke the matcha whisk!) haha! thankyou so much for the experience and knowledge!! we loved it!!
Yuka was a great host and gave our family a wonderful experience! we had a baby in our group, but she was very accommodating and gracious. Will recommend!
oh what an amazing time we had today…..so much fun and laugh! it was agreat time! the ceremony is aust do and our host is such a nice and sweet person!!! thank you for the memories you gave us!!!
A unique experience not to be missed. The treats were very good, the technique is impressive and perfect with explanations in English!
Glad we did it! This was the highlight of our Kyoto trip. What an amazing and humbling. experience.
The staff responsible for explaining are very professional and attentive! The explanations are mixed in English and Mandarin and we are very encouraged to share and try more. Let our tourists who are experiencing Chacha culture for the first time understand its meaning! I really like it~ and the pastries are also delicious😋If I have the chance, I hope to experience more🤩
Amazing experience with Yuka. She taught us about the matcha experience with a lot of details, kindness and patience. Also, she allowed us to participate. It was really fun. ❤️She was very warm and her level of English was really good!!
Insightful trip, learned about the Japanese tea ceremony, how to properly enjoy a cup of matcha. Also had the chance to be involved in the ceremony. The host is very friendly and funny, can answer any questions we had. The session runs almost 2 hours in total, she doesn't try to rush things and let us all have our fun.
