A must do! Fantastic.

Published on Dec, 2024

Wonderful experience. So great to learn more about the Japanese culture. Loved the matcha tea and women who performed the tea ceremony.

Highly recommend

Published on Dec, 2024

This experience is wonderful to do with a group of up to 10 people. You are fully immersed in a sense of Japanese culture from the moment you arrive and the staff take excellent care of you.

An affordable experience to remember

Published on Dec, 2024

Today my wife and I visited one of the best experiences of our 2 week holiday. We arrived with warm welcomes from all of the ladies who immediately ushered us to our separated dressing rooms to select our kimonos, to which they provided a wide range of colours and styles and even offered to style the ladies hair in traditional styles. We were then provided the time to take photos in their picturesque gardens with a number of traditional props. On completion of the pictures we moved to the tea ceremony which we both found the most culturally informative experience of our trip. This included a variety of small treats and a matcha tea each. Overall this experience was great value for money and would highly recommend to anyone wishing to broaden their cultural experience of Japan.

A must see experience in Kyoto

Absolutely amazing experience! Our guide was highly knowledgeable and educated us about the significance of the tea making process. The ladies dressing us in Kimonos were super sweet as well. A must see stop for anyone coming to Kyoto.
