Tea ceremony experience ＋ Making tea experience
The Japanese tea ceremony is a centuries-old tradition closely tied to Zen Buddhist principles, and a popular way to experience Japanese culture. There are several variations on this ritual. At its base, powdered green tea (matcha) is prepared and served in accordance with strict rules. Oftentimes, wagashi (Japanese sweets) is served alongside the bitter green tea.
You will experience a traditional Japanese tea ceremony as a guest. Watch as the host performs the formal making tea ritual, then enjoy matcha tea and Japanese sweets. After the ceremony, the host will teach you how to make matcha. You will then experience making matcha yourself.
You can experience an authentic tea ceremony and making matcha yourself.
We would like tourists, especially foreigners, to experience the formal tea ceremony at the official tea room. The tea room to experience is located near the ruins of Heijo Palace, the ancient capital of Nara.
