The tea masters were competent, patient and kind. The volunteer guide was very interesting and helpful.

First time in my life to experience tea cerimony. I could understood how it works, what's behind it. The staff kindly explained us the tools used and the meaning of this ancient tradition. It was special to experience it in the city were the tea cerimony (origially from China) was done for the first time in Japanese history, Kyoto. And definitely tasted a wonderful super super delicious tea, then visiting a very traditional Garden with the kind explanations of the volunteer staff :D

I love to learn more about the tea ceremony and how to properly enjoy it. The garden was very pretty and I’m glad we could see some camellias!

We enjoyed a traditional tea ceremony performed in a beautiful, serene traditional tea room by veterans who explained the movements and answered questions. The atmosphere was relaxed and we enjoyed matcha green tea and the wagashi traditional sweets before strolling through the beautiful moss and bamboo gardens and feeding the Japanese carp.

The deep explanation of the tea ceremony was really interesting.

The wagashi was delicious and the local staff answered so many questions, they were so nice! Feeding the koi fish was lovely too.
