茶道活動(4)

Aya was a wonderful instructor and patiently explained the history and significance of the tea ceremony in Japanese culture. After first illustrating the process Aya then gave us my wife and I the opportunity to prepare tea for each other which was a great experience. After the ceremony was concluded we noticed a wall full of tea bowls which Aya allowed us to purchase from and it was comforting to know we could go home with a high quality souvenir from local craftsmen.

Amazing experience to learn the art of the tea ceremony with strong historical roots in Kyoto. This is a very traditional experience and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Aya answered all of our questions and was easy to talk to. We also left with beautiful photographs to be able to cherish the memories of the experience. Highly recommend!!!

Such a lovely and authentic experience. Aya is very knowledgeable and welcoming. Would recommend going in the morning as you get two cups of matcha.

We loved the intimate atmosphere. It was fascinating learning about education the tea master had been through. He made it interactive by having us try to whisk the Macha. We would highly recommend this experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Yo be so graciously hosted by both husband and wife in their home for the tea ceremony made it extra-special! Our hostess was happy to also happy to answer our questions following this peaceful and ancient ritual.
