Kyoto: Tea Ceremony Meditation - Make Matcha with Tea Master

Step inside a 100-year-old traditional townhouse, where the scent of tatami and the quiet atmosphere invite you to slow down and feel at ease. Guided by a host trained in the Omotesenke tradition—one of Japan's most respected schools of tea ceremony—you'll be introduced to the graceful and mindful preparation of matcha.
With gentle and entertaining guidance, you'll then make your own bowl of matcha, learning the subtle techniques and etiquette that turn tea-making into a calming ritual. Enjoy your freshly prepared matcha with a traditional sweet, allowing the moment to settle into a peaceful memory.
Our English-speaking tea masters welcome questions and conversation, encouraging a deeper connection with Japanese culture. Using authentic, handcrafted utensils made by skilled artisans, we are honored to share an experience rooted in tradition—one you can carry home in both memory and meaning.
