Reviews
Ichinari or his Tea Master name Sousei, was absolutely fantastic! My husband and I wanted to do a tea ceremony and we ended up getting a private class with Sousei and it was wondering. We learned so much tea history, and Sousei dressed us in kimonos which really gave us even more of a look into Japanese culture which we loved. I highly recommend his class!
It was my first time in Japan experiencing the culture of the tea ceremony, but because I wasn't familiar with Osaka's transportation, I missed my reservation time. The teacher was still very patient and waited for us to arrive. For punctual Japanese people, our lateness was a great disrespect to them, but the teacher was still willing to wait for us, which moved us very much. Personally experiencing the culture of the tea ceremony is a great boost to the soul, allowing me to feel the life realm of tea ceremony and Zen. This was a rich intellectual journey, worth recommending 👍🏻
Very educational cultural activity by a chado master. Great detail was put into teaching us about the art and history. Our instructor was clear and effective. I gained a greater understanding and admiration of this aspyof Japanese culture.
An enlightening experience that was insightful, calm and informative. Our tea ceremony host was great and accommodating. Would highly recommend, thank you!
Nice class on the basics of the tea ceremony in Japan. The teacher was pretty knowledgeable on the practice and we got to discover it in details. Only small downside is that we would have appreciated to take a bit more time to prepare an actually good tea in addition to learning all the gestures.
Class ended up being only my group of two people. Instructor was nice and was able to walk us through a full understanding of history, sweet tasting and tea. It felt like such a personal moment between the 3 of us.
The teacher was super awesome.. very knowledgeable about the traditions of the tea ceremony.. versed in different languages. The class was very professional and informative. Definitely something I will take home in the learning process. Japan is so awesome.... totally enjoying the overall trip.. but this class is a must and highly recommended
It was a very professional experience. I learnt how to sit, how to eat, how to drink tea in a proper Japanese chado!
very informative tea ceremony and explanation. We all learned so much about the Japanese culture. We eventually purchased the kimonos. It was a fun experience.
host is very kind and knowledgeable. location is good.
