Authentic and wonderful tea ceremony and calligraphy

Tori_C, Apr 2026

This was exactly the type of experience I had hoped for. Authentic tea ceremony (Omotesenke style) that while accessible to tourists, still honors and retains the spirit of tea ceremony. Excellent calligraphy lesson. Learned a lot and was able to build on existing skills

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you very much for visiting Japanese Culture Experience WA NO MA. I am truly honored and delighted that my experience met your expectations. I strive every day to provide an experience that honors the spirit of Japanese tradition while remaining accessible to guests from abroad. Knowing that you felt this intention is a great encouragement to me. Furthermore, your movements during the session—both in handling the tea bowl and in your brushwork—were remarkably beautiful and refined. I hope you will continue to cherish and hone your wonderful skills and artistic sensibility. I look forward to the day we can enjoy Japanese culture together again!

Highlight of entire Japan trip

Lindsay_N, Apr 2025

Our teacher was phenomenal. This experience was the highlight of our entire trip. Having a one on one experience was so wonderful. We were able to ask questions about all aspects of Japanese life. Her English was exceptional so we didn’t need any translating devices. She was an excellent teacher. The matcha and sweets were delicious and beautiful. The calligraphy was so much fun and I can’t believe she taught us the basics so quickly. We will treasure our calligraphy art. Our teacher was also just a splendid, kind, and patient human. Incredibly grateful for the experience.

Thank you very much for visiting Japanese Culture Experience WA NO MA and for your heartwarming message! The time I spent with you was a wonderful and unforgettable memory for me too, because you asked me various questions about the tea ceremony and giving your full attention to your calligraphy work! I was very happy to see that you showed such a deep interest in Japanese culture. Thank you so much. Please display your amazing calligraphy work in your home. I hope to see you again. :)
