Itinerary
I provide a 90-minute in-person workshop for travelers to enjoy Japanese Tea Ceremony experience in the tea room in Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture (just a 24-minute bullet train ride from Tokyo). A traditional Japanese tea ceremony is a travel highlight, but entering an authentic tea room can feel intimidating without knowing the customs.
Through this intimate session in fluent English, you will learn:
• The Authentic Way: How to elegantly enjoy sweets and Usucha, and appreciate traditional utensils.
• Confidence & Manners: Key etiquette and "Omotenashi" mindsets to feel at ease during your trip.
• Mindful Experience: Connect with the essence of authentic Japan
