Reviews
We loved dress up and having the tea ceremony. We could choose our own Kimono, had our hair done and looked gorgeous for the session. I had the support from Thao, who were kind and supportive and accommodating my needs. At the cerimony, our instructor were knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable. We had the whole day wearing the Kimono exploring the city and temples around. Super recommend!
A great experience and my daughters and I were made to feel very special with hair styling and dressing assistance. Tea ceremony was very informative. We enjoyed the authentic matcha and opportunity to take photos afterwards. A rainy day when we attended but we were still able to take a short walk to find a nice backdrop for some outside photos. highly recommended.
We had a wonderful experience at the matcha tea ceremony with kimonos in Kyoto! 🇯🇵🍵 The atmosphere was great, and it was a special opportunity to experience Japanese culture firsthand. Putting on the kimono was a lot of fun, and the tea ceremony was designed to be very interesting and authentic. We felt completely at ease and were able to take home wonderful memories and beautiful photos. An absolute recommendation for anyone visiting Kyoto who wants to enjoy a traditional Japanese experience! We would do it again anytime. 😊
This was overall a great experience! Amazing getting dressed up in kimonoes and experiencing a Japanese te ceremony, would recommend😊
The staff went above and beyond.
