What you can expect

Enjoy the gentle atmosphere of late spring in Kyoto through a seasonal tea ceremony inspired by the lingering beauty of cherry blossom season.

Set in a 150-year-old Kyoto machiya, you will watch a tea master perform a live tea ceremony with clear English explanations of each movement and utensil.

The matcha is prepared by the instructor and served with seasonal Japanese sweets reflecting the transition from spring to early summer.

A short introduction to the machiya and Kyoto lifestyle is included.

This 45-minute experience is ideal for guests who prefer a relaxed, observational way to enjoy Japanese tea and seasonal aesthetics.
