Amazing experience

Published on Nov, 2024

This excursion was a highlight of our trip. Even the men in our group enjoyed it. Definitely worth the ferry to Miyajima.

Definitely a must-do experience for travelers!

This experience was easily one of the highlights of our trip. My friend loved putting on the kimono robes and sandals. I wish I had lost a little weight before this but I was glad they had my size and I was able to fit the robes as well. The whole tea ceremony was super interesting because every move is thought through. The calligraphy was fun, too, even though it's not as easy as it looks. The photo shoot was great fun, too! I appreciate the two ladies working there as they were very kind and pleasant and laughed along with us. This is a must do when visiting Japan1

Great experience, friendly staff.

Great experience, learning about tea and calligraphy. It was awesome to also put the Kimono on and take photos, the staff was very friendly.

This was the highlight of our trip

Published on Aug, 2024

Everyone was amazing! We got there very early because it was so hot outside and they let us sit and wait. They had a lot of cool stuff in their shop too. There is a large selection of beautiful kimono to choose from. And they took so many pictures of us. We really enjoyed watching the tea ceremony and then being able to practice it. And they were very patient with us as we practiced our calligraphy skills. Everyone agreed afterwards that this was the highlight of our trip. The only downside was that they share the pictures they took through Instagram which I think is not an issue for most people, but my group didn't have it so I had to download the app to get the pictures. But the people, service and experience were a 10/10

Highly recommend!
