Enjoy a private matcha tea ceremony experience in Kyoto, set inside a real, lived-in traditional townhouse just minutes from Nijo Castle. Rather than a tourist facility, this serene space reflects the quiet rhythm of everyday Kyoto life, offering an intimate and authentic cultural encounter.
Your experience begins with a short introductory film introducing the tea fields where high-quality matcha is cultivated, revealing its history, craftsmanship, and deep connection to Japanese culture. You will then grind tea leaves yourself using a traditional stone mill, experiencing a ritual that has been part of daily life for generations.
Next, enjoy a calm and graceful tea ceremony led by an experienced host in this fully private setting, allowing you to relax and engage at your own pace. You will savour freshly prepared authentic matcha, followed by a modern matcha creation that gently bridges tradition with contemporary taste.
Blending Kyoto’s lived-in atmosphere, tea culture, and quiet hospitality, this private experience offers a warm, personal moment away from crowds, as if you were invited into a local Kyoto home.
