Book your place for our 
authentic tea ceremony 
 

The Japanese Tea Ceremony is centered around 
HARMONY・RESPECT・PURITY・TRANQUILITY
 
Despite the rigorous attention to detail in execution, each encounter, each ceremony, each sip is totally unique - and that is what is to be cherished.

For you to capture this special experience and remember for years to come, our tea ceremony is held in an authentic tea room, conducted in English by experienced practitioners in a relaxed atmosphere.

Nara is the ideal place to combine sightseeing with authentic cultural experiences and this is the one experience above all else not to miss on your trip to Japan.
