Great experience. Very friendly staff. Great food and very knowledgeable tea master. Highly recommend.

Tea ceremony plus making onigiri. Great experience!

Susan_P, Dec 2024

Experienced and learned the nuances of a tea ceremony in a relaxed setting. Plus tried a hand at onigiri which was then served with other goodies. Highly recommend. Just had a bit of a challenge finding the venue. Otherwise was great!

A beautiful family experience

Leigh_V, Apr 2024

It was a lovely experience to share with the family. The breakfast was delicious and gave us all a fantastic understanding of what a traditional Japanese breakfast looks like. And the tea ceremony was something that I think we will always remember. Just beautiful. All of our lovely hosts/instructors were so kind, insightful and had very good humour. Highly recommend.
