<< Limited Launch Offer | Until March 26 >> Experience an authentic tea ceremony in a quiet 150-year-old Kyoto machiya, away from the busy tourist areas. Your experience begins with a short introduction to the history of the machiya townhouse and its role in Kyoto’s daily life and tea culture. Understanding the space and its design helps reveal why tea is practised in this way. Seated comfortably on chairs, you will watch a live tea preparation by a tea practitioner with over 16 years of training. After the demonstration, you will prepare matcha yourself step-by-step at a rare Misonodana tea shelf, a professional tea setting rarely accessible to visitors. Enjoy high-grade matcha typically used by practitioners, paired with seasonal plant-based Japanese sweets prepared for this experience. With a maximum of six guests, the atmosphere remains calm and personal, offering time for questions and conversation. This experience is ideal for travellers seeking a deeper cultural encounter beyond typical sightseeing.
