Such a unique experience. So much fun and seamless. Kimono rental is included in session and they have people to help you put them on and do your hair. Highly recommend.
The experience was beautiful and the guide was amazing
One of the best experiences we had in Japan. The hosts were friendly. The tea ceremony and kimono were beautiful. The host for the tea ceremony had lots of information about the history and meanings behind the tea ceremony. I would definitely recommend.

Great times. Good tea ceramony
Very good introduction to a Japanese custom and way of life
It was a very nice experience. Our hostess for today was really nice and kind. We learnt about the history and the tea ceremony culture. Its just a bit small when you’re changing and when you want to get photo’s the lighting is not very good. But overall it was a really nice experience we would not have wanted to miss here in Kyoto/Japan.
Incredible experience! We loved.
We had an incredible time during our matcha experience, as our first time trying this tea, what a wonderful introduction, providing a greater depth of meaning throughout the ceremony. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this event and would recommend to anyone, thw staff where very accommodating and spoke good english, they were all excellent, polite, respectful and friendly.
Amelie was a perfect host and using the kimono make all the difference, really recommend the experience will make good memories
