I started this business because I wanted to spread the Japanese culture that I learned from my parents to people overseas. I wanted to teach various aspects of Japanese culture, including the tea ceremony and calligraphy, so I have prepared staff who can speak multiple languages. I hope that you will be able to experience a little bit of Japanese culture in Kyoto.
