Step into the world of Japanese tea culture in a beautifully restored traditional Japanese townhouse in Onomichi. Learn the basics of preparing and enjoying matcha (Japanese green tea) in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Be introduced to the history and cultural significance of matcha, learn how to whisk tea using traditional tools, and prepare your own bowl of matcha. Enjoy Japanese sweets that complement the tea and discuss the customs and etiquette that have been passed down through generations.

This is not a formal tea ceremony lesson. Instead, it is a friendly cultural experience designed for travellers who would like to gain a deeper understanding of Japan beyond sightseeing. Beginners are very welcome, and no previous experience is required.

The experience takes place in an 80-year-old Japanese townhouse that has been personally restored after it had been vacant for many years. Surrounded by tatami rooms, traditional architecture, and a peaceful atmosphere, you will have the opportunity to slow down and enjoy a unique moment of Japanese culture.

Whether you are a tea enthusiast, interested in Japanese traditions, or simply looking for a memorable experience during your stay in Onomichi, enjoy sharing a cup of matcha.
