A must-do experience in Kyoto! - This was a highlight of our trip to Japan yet alone Kyoto! They start by doing your hair and letting you pick out a kimono which is just a bucket list dream! Then you do a tea ceremony with a beyond beautiful and kind instructor. It is so much fun to learn about such a great ritual!

The Geisha experience - History of matcha was interesting. Everyone was kind. The pictures were lovely. I wish they did one professional picture for us to have. But over all excellent.

Informative, fun, and a wonderful time - They made us feel beautiful in the kimono, did our hair, and we had a lot of fun learning about the history of tea ceremonies and how they are done.

Tea Ceremony & Cute Kimonos - We were not sure what to expect but were pleasantly surprised at the wonderful experience we had. We started by getting dressed in kimonos in the Gion District which was fun and effortless. We then proceeded to have a tea ceremony with Suzuki. Her instruction was thorough, concise and informative. It was such a fun experience and not too long for our 10 year old daughter.

Experience traditional costumes and culture - It was a great experience. You can try the tea ceremony in kimono. The teacher taught very patiently. After the course, you can also walk around in the costume and take photos to maximize the experience.
