Private Tea Ceremony with Meal & Sake in Arashiyama

Spend a private afternoon in an authentic Arashiyama tearoom, where an experienced instructor of the Omotesenke tradition introduces the garden, utensils, customs, and spirit of Japanese tea.

Seasonal sweets and matcha lead into a meal accompanied by sake, allowing the principles of tea hospitality to unfold at a slower pace around the table. Guests may also encounter rare tea utensils, hanging scrolls, or Raku tea bowls as living objects used within the tradition. Beginners are warmly welcomed, with a choice of traditional tatami seating or a contemporary seated setting.
