Reviews
getting ready in the kimono was the highlight. we got ready and walked around Kyoto and it was truely beautiful. the tea ceremony is very calming and a lovely experiance!!!
My dad and I had a lovely time coming here to wear kimonos and participate in a traditional matcha ceremony. This was something I was looking forward to when planning our trip, and this definitely lived up to the hype. Despite being a bit early, the kind staff immediately let us choose our kimonos and got us dressed quickly. I was beyond impressed with not only how fast they dressed us, but how speedy they were doing my hair. I have puffy and thick hair, so I was worried, but they did an awesome job with styling it. I felt beyond beautiful with their help. In addition, we had Yoko as our tea master and she was lovely. While short, the tea ceremony was the perfect length for us as my dad struggles with sitting on the floor for long periods. The matcha and snacks were 10/10 as was the whole experience!
Super amazing and fun to do. Our kimonos were so beautiful and it was really fun to get to walk aoud outside and go look around the Gion district 100% worth it! Our tea master Hiro was also super nice and such a sweet heart
we got to be dressed in kimonos and got to learn how to make macha, the women in there were lovely and the woman hosting the tea ceremony was sweet and took photos for everyone aswell
Really enjoyed the experience. It was a shorter tea ceremony more suited to tourists, but very family friendly.
Staff is very polite and cooperative. so many options to select from. you can choose wander outside option which is great.
The only reason for a 4-star rating because they didn’t have a lot of big sizes to pick from. Other part was the tea ceremony, didn’t care for that too much. I thought the facility would have its own garden for some pics but did not. Otger than that, staff was really good and friendly. Had fun wearing a kimono and roaming around.
I really enjoyed this activity! As it happened, the other guests cancelled at the last minute, so it was like having a private lesson. The guide was really knowledgeable, thoughtful and informative – it was great to be able to discuss aspects of the ceremony that I was curious about with her. I gained a lot of insight that I would never have gained, off my own steam, in a really calm and relaxed way.
This was one of the best experiences my daughter and I had in Japan. Everyone was so lovely. It was easy to pick what we wanted. Tea ceremony was so much fun. I highly highly recommend doing this. The photos you can take are amazing !!!!!!!!
such a great experience! made by really kind people! we were late to our reservation due to transportation issues and they contacted us the soonest to help us and suggest for another time. it was really worth it!
