Overview

Immerse yourself in the art of the Japanese tea ceremony at a local tea room guided by an accomplished Urasenke instructor. With a wealth of experience from a 90-year tea-utensil merchant family, she brings a unique blend of craftsmanship, history, and taste to each session. Learn the essential elements of temae flow, etiquette, and the intricacies of whisking your own usucha, perfectly paired with seasonal wagashi. This small-group masterclass caters to both beginners and culture enthusiasts, ensuring an authentic experience without the theatrics. Enjoy English guidance and capture memories with photography during designated moments.
