    A beautiful addition to a visit to Japan

    Katelyn_Q, Mar 2026
    This tea ceremony experience was lovely! The setting, in a tatami room beside a beautiful Japanese garden, was so peaceful and picturesque. Our family (myself, my husband, and our two tween daughters) found it to be an interesting look into Japanese culture and history. One caveat to be aware of, it was not super comprehensive on teaching all about the tea ceremony. It was more about experiencing the ceremony, taking you through the steps. But the host was wide open to answering questions. So, if you are craving a more comprehensively educational experience, come with some questions prepared.
