Authentic Japanese Tea Ceremony in an Intimate Setting

This experience offers a rare opportunity to participate in a private, formal-style Japanese tea gathering conducted in a quiet, traditional tea room. Unlike crowded tea ceremonies, this intimate setting allows guests to fully engage with the host, the space, and the subtle flow of the Way of Tea. Guided by the principle of ichiza konryū—creating one harmonious moment together—the gathering emphasizes mindfulness, seasonal beauty, and respectful interaction. Every element, from the garden purification ritual to the shared bowl of thick tea, is carefully arranged to create a calm, immersive experience that reflects the depth of Japanese tea culture. This is not a performance, but a shared, living tradition—ideal for travelers seeking authenticity, tranquility, and meaningful cultural connection.

集合場所

Look for a sign with green and brown colors that prominently displays tea whisks on it. The sign includes both Japanese and English text. The English text says, 'Discover Japanese culture through our English tea ceremonies!' Below that, you'll find a phone number.
