Traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony Experience in Kyoto

We enjoyed learning the respectful culture around a traditional tea ceremony. Her ability to teach us in Japanese and English was great for our group. We even got to experience whisking matcha ourselves. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely experience . Our guide took the tea ceremony very seriously, which added to the experience. My hubby and I dressed up and looked amazing in our kimono’s.

Our experience with the Traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony Experience in Kyoto was very enjoyable overall, with the Klook booking process being smooth and convenient, providing clear instructions and easy coordination. The pricing feels reasonable considering the cultural value and authenticity of the experience. The facilities were clean, peaceful, and well-maintained, creating a traditional atmosphere that enhanced the overall experience. Staff and hosts were welcoming, patient, and knowledgeable, explaining the tea ceremony process in a clear and engaging way. The highlight was learning about the traditions behind matcha preparation and participating in the ceremony firsthand, which offered a deeper appreciation of Japanese culture. The calm setting and attention to detail made the experience feel both relaxing and memorable. Overall, it is a worthwhile and highly recommended cultural activity for travelers visiting Kyoto.

we loved the ceremonial piece of this tea ceremony. It was beautiful to just get a peek behind the curtain of true Japanese culture. The instructor is fantastic. We did a private tour which I would recommend, with kimonos.

Very nice tea ceremony experience with beautiful traditional kimonos and a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere! 😊 We learned about the tea culture and making, we tried different matcha teas and we could also try to make our own matcha tea. It is a really special and beautiful memory for me! 😊🥰 Thank you so much! 😊

A peaceful, meditative introduction to the art of the Japanese tea ceremony. In addition to the tasting, there was also a brief instruction for hands-on practice, and all questions were answered.

Nice experience near Kinkakuji temple. The English of the teacher was excellent. Our only complaint is that the sweets weren't very nice but perhaps that is typical of those type of sweets.

The tea ceremony was good. The tea master (not sure if a lady is also a master). she was very knowledgeable and explained it well. she also accommodated the guests who could not sit on the mat by giving stools. The Matcha was delicious and I would do it again. I loved the Kimono choices on offer.

The tea master was really knowledgeable. The experience was engaging and fun, while learning about history and etiquette of the tea ceremony.

beautiful experience. The kimonos were beautiful and our tea master was amazing and explained everything so eloquently.
