Kyoto Tea Ceremony & Matcha Making TIA KiyomizuChawanzakaShop
Our vision is to share the beauty and joy of Japanese culture through both the tea ceremony and traditional kimono. Embracing the spirit of ichigo-ichie—cherishing each unique encounter—we aim to create experiences where guests connect with Kyoto’s traditions in a warm and welcoming way.
What to expect
Kyoto Tea Ceremony & Matcha Making TIA offers a warm and welcoming experience where you can wear kimono, enjoy matcha and sweets, and discover Kyoto’s culture. At TIA, we believe the tea ceremony should be welcoming, easy to enjoy, and fun—never too formal or difficult. Our sessions are guided in English, so international guests can easily understand and enjoy the experience. Each session lasts just 20–30 minutes, allowing you to experience the essence of Japanese culture without affecting your sightseeing plans. Since TIA is located alongside a kimono rental shop, you can wear a kimono before joining the tea ceremony—creating a truly unique and memorable Kyoto experience.
