This was an amazing experience and the highlight of my 16 in Japan. I highly recommend . The kimono fitting was great and a nice selection. The host were both very helpful and engaging. I absolutely love it and so did my partner.

My wife, daughter, and I had such a beautiful experience here. From getting to pick out our Kimono pieces, to trying our hand at writing some calligraphy, to learning how to carry out the traditional tea ceremony and making our own tea, every aspect of the evening was so enjoyable and insightful. Our host was very warm and kind and took so many great photos and videos for us that we now get to cherish! Definitely will be recommending this experience to friends who visit Osaka in the future.

Wonderful Japanese cultural experience - Mika was amazing

Alexander_D, Mar 2026

I have done a tea ceremony before in Tokyo, but I was here on a trip with my mum and wanted to go one step further. We dressed up, did calligraphy (we tried at least haha) and had an amazing tea ceremony. Mika was wonderful! She knew her stuff, was warm, polite and very informative of the Japanese crafts. You must try, it was one of the best tea ceremony / Japanese culture experiences you can do!

My friend and I had a great time getting fitted for kimonos, trying our hands at calligraphy, and learning about the history and significance of the tea ceremony. Our hosts were also very warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend this activity if you’re looking to experience a little Japanese culture during your visit.

Beautiful experience

I booked to fulfill a dream of my grown daughter of dressing in Kimonos, a lovely tea service and calligraphy. Wonderful hostess who explained everything and was so gracious. We highly recommend!

3-hour retreat from osaka heat

Huan_F, Aug 2025

This was an amazing experience! I got to choose a beautiful kimono, complete with hair styling, then enjoyed a calligraphy session where I created a fan to take home. The highlight was the tea ceremony—it felt like entering another world, learning step by step while savoring tea and sweets. Although being near a busy station, it’s a peaceful retreat, and the kind staff made it truly wonderful！

✨Such a special experience! ✨

Unforgettable Journey into Japanese Traditions

Amazing experience! A great selection of kimonos to choose from, a relaxing calligraphy session, and an unforgettable tea ceremony. Everything was beautifully organized and allowed us to dive deep into the art and traditions while trying everything ourselves. Highly recommended for anyone who wants an authentic taste of Japanese culture.
