Fantastic Experience - The Sando experience was truly remarkable. Each detail was laid out so nicely and my friend and I throughly enjoyed each element. The calligraphy was very interesting and the instructor was patient and kind. I have done two other tea ceremonies in the past, but this tea ceremony provided an experience unlike any other. The entire ceremony, from the cleansing, to crawling through the tearoom entrance, to pouring our own water from a traditional kettle to make Matcha tea…it was something I will remember forever! The flower arranging was also very interesting and I learned so much about the Japanese style of flower arranging. I highly recommend the full Sando experience and would love to bring any guests we may have here to enjoy it as well.

wonderful culturalistic experience - I joined my colleagues recently for a wonderful " Sando" tea ceremony. We were guided from the beginning to the end by a team of true professionals. I believe anyone who is visiting Okinawa and would like to feel immersed into Japanese culture then this activity is a must. Thank you again for a memorable experience
