      Best Interactive Tour Ever!

      My husband and I loved this experience! Exceeded our expectations and hope! Grace was the perfect host, historian and interpreter. We selected our kimono & hakama from a variety of options. Ari also assisted. They offered to take lots of photos for us (I could only upload 4) in many backgrounds. Grace led us through the tradition and history of the tea ceremony. Fascinating! Chiemi is the Tea Ceremony Master who performed it so artfully. We drank the tea with accompanied Sakura shaped sweet and a sponge cake called Castilla. I was asked if I’d like to also try making the tea. Grace guided me through the steps. What a most wonderful and beautiful experience to participate in!! We both cherish this as our best tour in Japan in the two weeks we traveled. Thank you ladies for such treasured memories!!
