Discover Japanese tea culture in a private Arashiyama tearoom through a beginner-friendly introduction to the garden, tearoom, utensils, and etiquette. Your host explains how each element contributes to the atmosphere and hospitality of the gathering before serving seasonal sweets and matcha.
Observe hanging scrolls, Raku tea bowls, and other utensils used within the tradition, then take part in the ceremony yourself. Guests may choose traditional tatami seating or a comfortable chair-seated setting. This 90-minute plan focuses exclusively on tea and does not include the meal and sake served in the extended experience.
