You can take many photos by wearing an authentic kimono in the beautiful Japanese gardens of a traditional Kyoto townhouse. You can even wear your kimonos outside after your tea ceremony, and take a stroll down the historical town. If you are traveling with children under the age of 12 , please choose this plan.
Our tea ceremony is the perfect opportunity to teach kids the importance of focus and being mindful. Many domestic travelers from Tokyo and other parts of Japan also visit Kyoto where the kabuki culture, geisha culture, kimono tradition and the noh theater were born. The whole Kyoto City is like an open air museum as there are temples, shrines, 17 UNESCO sites, thousands of historic machiya townhouses and hundreds of national treasures located in the area.
In the ancient times, Kyoto was chosen as the capital because of its safe location surrounded by mountains that is earthquake and typhoon resistant. Without visiting Kyoto you may never understand what Japan really is.
The japanese tea ceremony or matcha drinking ritual is the traditional way of drinking grean tea leaves after eating Japanese sweets.
