Nagoya: Kimono Experience with Matcha & Historic Mansion

Dress in a beautiful kimono and explore a historic Japanese residence and garden in Nagoya. Enjoy matcha and a seasonal sweet in a traditional setting, then discover Japanese art at two museums.
Meet at the main entrance of Furukawa Art Museum in Ikeshita, Nagoya.

Begin your experience by choosing a kimono with the help of an experienced kimono dresser. You will be dressed inside Furukawa Art Museum in traditional Japanese style.

To help protect the cultural heritage buildings, socks must be worn when entering them. Tabi socks are provided for this purpose and are yours to keep as a souvenir of your kimono experience.

Once dressed, walk to Tamesaburo Memorial Museum, a branch of Furukawa Art Museum and the former residence of Furukawa Tamesaburo.

Here, you can explore a historic Japanese residence, traditional architecture, and a beautiful Japanese garden while wearing your kimono. Ishun-tei, a traditional sukiya-style house, and Chisoku-an are among the structures on the grounds registered as tangible cultural properties.

Take your time to enjoy the garden and architecture. On rainy days, the moss becomes even more vibrant and beautiful, offering a different view of the garden.

Your kimono dresser will also take photos for you at three recommended spots using your smartphone, giving you lasting memories of your time in kimono.

Next, enjoy freshly prepared matcha and a seasonal Japanese sweet in the historic residence. The matcha is served in works by craftspeople whose art is part of the museum's collection, offering a special opportunity to enjoy freshly prepared matcha surrounded by Japanese art and traditional architecture.

Your experience includes admission to both Furukawa Art Museum and Tamesaburo Memorial Museum. Even after the experience ends and you have changed back into your own clothes, you are welcome to continue exploring the museum exhibitions at your own pace.

An interpreter, professional photographer, and hair and makeup service are not included.

The experience ends at Furukawa Art Museum.
