Step into the heart of Kyoto and experience two of Japan’s most iconic traditions in one unforgettable experience: wearing a beautiful kimono and taking part in an authentic matcha tea ceremony.

Begin by choosing your favourite kimono from a selection of seasonal colours and traditional Japanese patterns. Experienced staff will help you dress properly, while sharing fascinating details about the history, craftsmanship, and meaning behind this elegant traditional attire. Once dressed, enjoy the perfect opportunity to take beautiful photos and create lasting memories of your time in Kyoto.

Next, enter the peaceful atmosphere of a traditional tea room and discover the art of chanoyu, the Japanese tea ceremony. Watch as your tea host carefully prepares matcha using traditional tools and techniques, and learn about the customs and values that have shaped tea culture in Kyoto for centuries.

Then it’s your turn to take part! Learn how to properly receive and turn the tea bowl, practice traditional tea ceremony etiquette, and enjoy the rich flavour of freshly whisked matcha.

Pair your tea with yatsuhashi, one of Kyoto’s most famous traditional sweets, for an authentic taste of the city’s culinary heritage.

More than just a tea tasting or kimono experience, this is your chance to truly connect with Kyoto’s living traditions. Slow down, enjoy the moment, take memorable photos, and experience the beauty, hospitality, and culture of Japan first-hand.

Perfect for couples, friends, families, and first-time visitors looking to make their time in Kyoto even more special.
