Step into a hidden, private-style tea room in a peaceful residential area of Nara, a city deeply connected to the history of tea culture. Watch your instructor prepare the tea, then make your own bowl of matcha and enjoy it with a seasonal Japanese sweet.

Learn the basics of tea ceremony etiquette, the history of tea culture, and the Japanese spirit of omotenashi (thoughtful hospitality). Tea ceremony is often described as a “total art,” bringing together aesthetics, seasonal awareness, and traditional crafts—allowing you to appreciate Japanese beauty with all five senses.

Nara is known as the birthplace of Murata Jukō(村田珠光), regarded as the founder of wabi-cha, and the Takayama area in northwestern Nara is widely recognised as Japan’s only major production region for chasen (bamboo tea whisks). Experience the charm of tea ceremony through a genuinely local experience in this historically meaningful setting.
