Descrizione
Experience the Japanese tea ceremony in a beautiful kimono and discover the traditions, philosophy, and spirit behind the Way of Tea with an experienced instructor in Kanazawa.
Dress in a beautiful kimono, enter an authentic tea room, and discover the deeper world of Japanese tea ceremony.
Your experience begins by choosing from approximately 1,500 kimonos. A professional kimono dresser will help you find a style that suits you and dress you beautifully. A wide range of sizes is available, including options for taller guests and those with larger body types.
Once dressed, travel comfortably by taxi to the tea room. The taxi fare is included, making the journey easy even on a rainy day.
There is no need to return to the kimono shop after the experience. You can simply leave your kimono at your hotel reception for return, allowing you to continue exploring the city in your kimono after the tea ceremony.
At the tea room, you will be welcomed by Tomomi, a qualified instructor who has studied the Urasenke tradition of Japanese tea ceremony for many years. Having studied English in Seattle and participated in tea ceremonies and cultural exchanges overseas, she explains Japanese tea culture in clear, approachable English.
This is an interactive lesson where you are welcome to ask questions as you learn. Tomomi will explain the meaning behind important traditions and movements, helping you understand not only how tea ceremony is performed, but why.
Using authentic tea utensils, you will draw hot water from the tea kettle with a bamboo ladle and prepare your own bowl of matcha step by step. You will also learn about the spirit of wabi-sabi and the meaning behind traditional tea ceremony etiquette.
This experience goes beyond making matcha and taking photos. Dress in a beautiful kimono and enjoy a peaceful moment in an authentic tea room as you discover the true spirit of the Way of Tea.
