Step into Japanese tradition
In Japanese culture, the tea ceremony embodies the art of mindful preparation and serene enjoyment, reflecting centuries of tradition. Learn about this time-honored tradition through the kimono & tea ceremony experience, where you’ll immerse yourself in these timeless Japanese customs. Begin your day with a tour of the Tondaya Machiya, a historic townhouse built in 1885, originally serving as a kimono store. Admire the traditional wooden architecture, shoji screens, and tatami mats, which have preserved Kyoto's cultural heritage. Next, you'll enjoy dressing up in a traditional kimono that was once a privilege available only for Japan's noble class.
An artistic expression of hospitality
The experience culminates with a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Here, you’ll witness the meticulous art of tea preparation. Savor the matcha tea paired with wagashi, delicate Japanese sweets designed to complement the tea’s flavor. Each aspect of the ceremony, from the matcha whisking to the presentation of the wagashi sweets, offers a window into the refined rituals of Japanese hospitality. As the ceremony concludes, reflect on the new knowledge you have obtained about this historical practice as you appreciate the value of tradition.
