Private Tea Ceremony with Kimono and Ikebana (Flower Art) near Golden Pavilion

What to Expect

The tea ceremony experience we offer is not just watching the demonstration, but you can also join the authentic tea ceremony as a guest and try making green tea by yourselves! We will explain the meaning of each tea utensil or movement, which changes according to the season (every month).

Our private session includes 3 different experiences and the CHA-DO (Japanese tea ceremony) which also includes the Zen Buddhism spirit behind it. You will get to experience wearing kimono, ikebana lesson and tea ceremony all in one session!

It’s the best place for you if you would like to know more about the authentic Japanese culture.
