Kyoto Traditional Tea Ceremony & Kimono Dressing at 300-Year-Old Machiya

Immerse yourself completely in Japanese aesthetics and mindfulness. Arrive at a preserved 300-year-old traditional Machiya townhouse in Kyoto. Choose from over 200 exquisite silk kimonos and obi sashes, fitted by professional dressers including traditional hair styling and kanzashi hairpins. Once dressed, step into a tranquil tatami tea room overlooking a moss-covered Japanese courtyard garden. An accredited tea master guides you through the Zen philosophy of “Ichigo Ichie” (treasure every unrepeatable encounter). Learn the ritual cleansing of utensils, how to whisk ceremonial Grade-A Uji matcha, and taste delicate seasonal wagashi confections.
