Country: Japan

Duration: 01:00 hours


Description

Step away from sightseeing and enter a teahouse tucked in Naramachi. In 55 minutes, gently settle your breath and senses, and savor one bowl of matcha at a peaceful pace.
Nara is filled with beauty—and the more you walk, the more information you take in.
This experience invites you to shift from “seeing Nara” to “feeling Nara,” creating a small pause to reset your body and mind during your day.

Inspired by tea ceremony, this is not a tea lesson as training. While receiving the host’s warm omotenashi, you’ll open the five senses—aroma, steam, the warmth of the bowl, and its texture—and savor a single bowl of matcha.

Matcha is prepared and served by the host (guests do not whisk).
To close, we share the spirit of tea as it lives in everyday life, and you’ll take home a practical “one-cup reset” you can use during your travels and beyond.

A beginner-friendly matcha pause inspired by tea culture.

【Host】
Hosted by a tea host who studies the Japanese way of tea in the Urasenke tradition and continues ongoing practice. With deep respect for tradition, the session is guided gently so first-timers can feel at ease.
