Kimono × Tea Ceremony

Centuries of silk, spun for kimono. The tea ceremony, shared in silence.

Kyoto kimono. A kimono dressing master then dresses you, and women also receive a simple hair styling. After a photo session in a traditional tea room, you move to a shoin-style tea room, where a tea master who has devoted a lifetime to the way of tea performs the ceremony before you. Enjoy the freshly whisked tea with a seasonal Japanese sweet, and a few guests will have the chance to whisk tea themselves. Throughout the ceremony, feel free to ask anything about Japanese culture. The experience closes with a group photo.

For an unforgettable memory of your journey in Japan.

Ikebana × Tea Ceremony

Arrange flowers. Find stillness.

Ikebana is not decoration — it is a discipline. Learn to see space, balance, and season through the art of Japanese flower arrangement, then carry that stillness into a tea ceremony. A pairing of two quiet practices that reveal the same thing.
