Description
Immerse yourself in Japanese culture with a kimono experience and matcha tea ceremony in Sapporo. Wear a kimono, take photos, and enjoy a traditional tea ceremony with sweets.
Begin by choosing a kimono from a collection of carefully selected pieces. Get dressed with professional care, ensuring every detail is in place. Feel the structure, texture, and quiet elegance of traditional Japanese attire.
Once dressed, spend time in a refined Japanese modern space, which features traditional crafts from across Japan displayed in a museum-like setting. Take photos at your own pace, browse a curated selection of artisan-made items, and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Japan from within.
In the second half of the experience, be guided to a private tea room, where you can relax on tatami mats in an authentic setting. Watch as matcha — Japan's traditional powdered green tea — is prepared right in front of you, allowing you to observe the careful, meditative process of tea preparation.
Be served the freshly whisked matcha along with traditional tea sweets, thoughtfully paired to complement the slight bitterness of the tea. Take your time savoring the tea and sweets while wearing your kimono, and experience the Japanese tradition known as "tea time" — a quiet, mindful moment that has been valued in Japanese culture for centuries.
