What you can expect

Visit a traditional Japanese townhouse known as a machiya, and partake in a tea ceremony in traditional attire in Kyoto.

First of all, after you arrive, a kimono made of authentic silk will be quickly fitted for you. Explore the machiya, built in the Meiji period.
After that, discover three storehouses and the six tsuboniwa gardens where you can feel the flow of seasonal wind.
Arrive at the tea ceremony room, Rakuju, and the detached tatami room where Noh plays were performed.

Tea is an inseparable part of Japanese culture. Hear an explanation of the tea ceremony in the tea room and watch a tea ceremony performance. Feel as if you were transported back in time to the Meiji period and experience the spirit of Wabi-Sabi.
