The Hostess was very courteous and engaging. The dressers were dedicated to making you look authentic. We learnt so much about the Japanese culture of ceremony and enjoyed the company of other travelers.

We had such a lovely experience! It was a great way to start off our trip! It was fun to get dressed up in kimonos and take pictures. Our host was very friendly and detailed in each step of the ceremony. It was also very cleansing to the soul and a peaceful experience!

We had an enjoyable time learning about the traditions of the tea ceremony with Sayo. She was very knowledgeable and made the experience very special for us all. We had a full room of other attendees but she made it extremely comfortable esp for my Mother who couldn't quiet sit on the floor the way they sit traditionally. We actually enjoyed the little treats as part of the ceremony & Mum & niece were introduced to macha to which they found a very interesting taste. The kimonos were beautiful. The experience of getting in & out of the kimonos & also have a simple hairstyle was also great. The ladies were extremely helpful & wonderful in the entire experience.

Everyone was really sweet. Yuki did such a great job breaking down some of the basics of the tea ceremony really quickly and also in making sure we were comfortable (don't have to sit in seiza the whole time, no need to finish anything we didn't want to) and made the tea beautifully. putting on the kimono and having my hair done felt like a part of honoring the tea ceremony experience.

Our host, Yuki, was great in explaining what happens in a tea ceremony. The atmosphere was peaceful. I loved the kimono experience too. They help you pick the band around your waist, to match the kimono that you picked from their selection. They also do your hair and put some flowers on your head.

This was a special experience dressing in a Kimoni and participating in the traditional tea ceremony. It was peaceful and relaxing. They offer a range of Kimonos to choose from, they dress you and put flowers in your hair. There were a few men in the group so they wore simpler kimonos. After the tea ceremony, we were given the opportunity to take photos in the roof garden and we were not at all rushed so it was very zen.

To be honest, we expected to learn more about matcha, how it's grown, how it's made, and some other tips. But the tour was more about coming there, dressing up and observing someone pouring tea. I also had an impression that it was more of a private tour (based on the pictures), but we had a group of about 10 people in the room. We spent at least 15 minutes listening to where everyone is from, their names, and their plans in Tokyo, instead of actually focusing on the tea experience. Some people in our group really enjoyed it. I can't say the same about my husband and I. Not our cup of tea ;)
