This was the highlight of our trip - Everyone was amazing! We got there very early because it was so hot outside and they let us sit and wait. They had a lot of cool stuff in their shop too. There is a large selection of beautiful kimono to choose from. And they took so many pictures of us. We really enjoyed watching the tea ceremony and then being able to practice it. And they were very patient with us as we practiced our calligraphy skills. Everyone agreed afterwards that this was the highlight of our trip. The only downside was that they share the pictures they took through Instagram which I think is not an issue for most people, but my group didn't have it so I had to download the app to get the pictures. But the people, service and experience were a 10/10

A great Japanese experience - Loved being dressed in a kimono we had lots of pictures taken during the entire tour. Making tea was interesting and trying to write a few symbols in Japanese was a lot harder than it looked. Our efforts on wooden spoons were beautifully wrapped for a souvenir

A beautiful tea ceremony and calligraphy experience! - Our group did the kimono, tea ceremony and calligraphy workshop and had the most wonderful experience. The people were so friendly, patient and lovely and they explained the tea ceremony and the calligraphy process really well. We booked through Klook and there were no issues, it all worked seamlessly. We had a wonderful time and it was worth coming to Miyajima to experience this!

Absolutely recommended! - This is highly recommended! We were received and treated super friendly, and you are taken step by step through every part of the experience. A nice insight into the rich culture that Japan has and you can also ask plenty of questions about the ceremony. And there is no shortage of photos, because plenty of time is made available for a photo opportunity. Plus afterwards you will also receive the photos they take. Wouldn't have wanted to miss this, really great :)

Amazing Experience - This was one of our highlights of our trip in Japan. They were so kind and made the experience very enjoyable. We learned a lot, had fun and it was an added perk to wear a kimono! I highly recommend.

Very recommended! - Dear okeikoJapan Miyajima, thank you very much for the great cultural experience we had at your lovely zen temple. It was great learning about the tea ceremony as well as customising our own lucky scoops using Japanese calligraphy. The treat was exceptional and we loved the pictures you took and shared with us after. Very recommended!
