5Absolutely great
Ań absolute must fantastic experience great organization and super nice people the kimono session was a great fun and tea ceremony as well
5An amazing morning
I was able to book the experience as part of my Hiroshima part of the trip. The experience is a must and a highlight on the trip. Allow enough time to explore the island and this activity. As soon as I was welcome, the next step was kimono dressing. They have several selection of colors that you can pick and they took several pictures with the kimono After that, a master did the tea ceremony and explained every step. Probably the best part was the application and creation of my own tea.
5Memorable kimono and tea ceremony experience
This is the place to experience tea ceremony and to rent a kimono. I originally only wanted to go for the first thing out of these two, but then I got convinced. And I'm very glad I did. This whole experience is one of my most fun and the most memorable experiences on my trip in Japan. The ladies working at the place are very nice, fluent in English and almost pro photographers. You can buy some local souvenirs at the shop at the reception. I really wanted to make a reservation for me ahead of my visit, but it was just not possible - I didn't see any system to do this through. Luckily, when I arrived, there was just one other couple having interest in the tea ceremony, so I just needed to wait to the starting time of the closest ceremony, not for some other round of it.
5Learning how to matcha tea in a Kimona
Besides going through a formal tea ceremony, getting fully fitted in ceremonial custom wsa one of the highlights of our Japan trip
5Lovely relaxed kimono and tea ceremony
We had a wonderful time with Okeiko! 徳寿寺 temple on Miyajima is the perfect relaxed (and highly traditional) setting for careful kimono dressing and the tea ceremony. We all felt personally catered to and loved each of our hosts attentiveness to detail. Highly recommend this experience as opposed to a busy setting like Kyoto or Tokyo. 💕
5Great Experience!
Such a lovely and wonderful experience! The ladies made me feel so welcome and I felt so beautiful in my kimono, the process of putting on the kimono was a big part of the experience! The tea ceremony was a great traditional experience. I would definitely recommend this experience!

About Hiroshima
Hiroshima, on Japan's Seto Inland Sea, is a rebuilt river city whose Peace Memorial Park and museum recall the atomic bombing of 1945.
Hiroshima spreads across the delta of the Ōta River, whose channels, bridges and trams give the city an open feel. The atomic bomb of 6 August 1945 destroyed most of it. The Peace Memorial Park beside the river holds the Atomic Bomb Dome, a ruined building left standing and listed by UNESCO, the Peace Memorial Museum and the Children's Peace Monument.
