Traditional Tea Ceremony in English near Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto
A wonderful introduction to the traditions of Kyoto
Reviewed by: Aspen_Lola, 2018/10/28Led by a woman named Chikako, Tea Ceremony Camellia is a great introduction to the origins of the green tea ceremony. She taught us its history and how to make the matcha tea ourselves. Camilla is situated in the Gion neighborhood , so make sure you have at least an hour before or after to walk around and explore the neighborhood. They kept the group limited to 6 people so it was an intimate experience. I highly recommend this lesson during a hectic day of sightseeing as it offered a peaceful oasis and a moment to reflect on the traditions of Kyoto.

Modern Japanese Kimono Full Day Rental and Free Strolling in Kyoto
Pour Yukata section, great photographers and stylist.
Reviewed by: Jenna, 2018/08/31Keep in mind that when you book this tour in the summer, you will be renting a yukata and not a kimono. They had gorgeous kimonos in the shop, but only a small selection of yukatas to wear. Also, if you are bigger than an American size M/L they will not fit. Even as an L mine was quite tight and opened when I sat down. But the stylist did a great job on my hair, and I enjoyed my photography session. There is a temple and gate nearby that are great for taking pictures as well.

Traditional Japanese Dance Lesson in The Art of Nihon Buyo
Outstanding experience to appreciate traditional Japanese dance
Reviewed by: MMM, 2018/06/19As a ballroom dancer, I was interested in learning about traditional Japanese dance. This activity provided an excellent cultural experience that gave an appreciation for the skills required to really perform the dance correctly and beautifully.
First we were dressed in a kimono - a cultural experience itself! Then the master showed us how to properly hold the fan, the basic walk, posture and stance. Finally she showed us a portion of a dance that gave us a chance to actually try to dance.
While the master did not speak much English, our guide interpreted as we went along so it was never an issue.
Prepare to work and get sweaty! The master went easy on us but a real student of this dance has to pay attention to every detail and nuance.
I got exactly what I hoped to get - a little bit of an understanding and appreciation for this highly skilled art form. Highly recommended.

Cute Kimono Rental for Couples near Kyoto Station
So so
Reviewed by: Kirsten, 2018/05/08Hasty staff, I don't like to get rushed. Postive side is you get more time wearing the kimono. After 14:00 very few choises in assecoires (most are taken). Good pointS: effiecient staff, your stuff gets bagged. Located next to one bueautiful park with very few visitors (3). Bad points, they don't offer to take a picture, they don't assist in choosing the kimono on what fits best, it has to be quick. Location is pore in comparison to the giondistrict with more authentic scenery fitting the kimono and more people wearing one. Also the Kyoto Tower-top isnt a very nice place to take a picture, but the.view is beautiful:) if you buy something in the towershops youll get discount for the view ticket!

Traditional Tea Ceremony Experience near Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto
Definitely worth it
Reviewed by: Svea, 2018/04/08Since I was travelling on a budget I wasn't sure if it was worth paying the money for this tea ceremony. But it was! I was curious about the tea ceremony as a whole, like the history and the meaning, and I got to learn about that and ask questions. Getting to whisk the tea myself was great. It was everything I wanted. There were 10 people in attendance.
The location is easy to find and easy to get to. I walked there from Ryoanji in a little over 20 minutes.
Thank you very much for your message! Since It was the highest season, we had 10 people in a tea room. Usually much less people.
I hope you enjoyed the tea ceremony:)

Authentic Ninja Training Experience at Ninja Dojo in Kyoto
Wonderful Experience!
Reviewed by: Ash.Y, 2018/01/06The lesson was both informative and entertaining.You'd think Ninjas are always so serious and put up a poker face,but the instructor was very nice and friendly,great at engaging students.I was fascinated by the way Ninjas use weapons,very clever and creative.
And there is a photographer at the Dojo,she took great photos and even videos of me during the whole lesson.So you can just immerse yourself in the world of Ninja,and get photos after the class!

Traditional Tea Ceremony in English near Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto
Arigato gozaimasuuu
Reviewed by: Colliwog, 2017/12/30The staff was lovely and it was a fun, quiet, and intimate experience. I enjoy things like this but it’s not for everyone. I would have enjoyed trying to drink the tea the traditional way and bow once the tea maker gives you the tea but you have to be in the first position next to the door to do that. So if you want to experience that and be put on the spot a little, make sure to sit there. Overall it was a great experience and gave me a taste of something I would like to do again, hopefully for an even longer time.

Great
Reviewed by: Sophie, 2017/12/13Very informative and calm tea ceremony. The host answered all questions to our fullest satisfaction. Great way to learn more about the history of tea ceremonies in Japan, the utensils and what state of mind is required for/induced by a tea ceremony. The Matcha we got to make for ourselves at the end was very nice also.

Traditional Tea Ceremony Experience near Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto
Group Tea Ceremony
Reviewed by: smartie, 2017/11/27This location is to easy to find and very close to another big tourist spot. The bus goes almost to the door. currently road works are making the bus routes all a little different so that does need to be noted. The ceremony it self was amazing. The lady that held the ceremony is a master of her craft and has an exquisite eye for detail. I would totally recommend. We booked the group Tea Ceremony as it was cheaper we only had one other person join our group of three.
Thank you very much for coming to Tea Ceremony here. Yes, here is very close to Golden Pavilion, Kinkakuji temple.I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the tea ceremony!

Traditional Tea Ceremony in English near Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto
An absolute must!!!
Reviewed by: Jacquelyn, 2017/09/23What an AMAZING experience. I messed up my reservation date and the staff at Camellia emailed me that following day to say they missed me and if I would like to reschedule to the following day, they could accommodate me at anytime. I went the following morning, right at 10am, and was greeted with extreme warmth and calm. One of the women welcomed me in and ensured that I was able to attend a tea ceremony right away! The experience itself was beautiful and intimate (I was the only one!). My lovely demonstrator spoke to me at the beginning and explained what I should expect over the next hour. She then demonstrated the tea preparation and shared that tea with me and then she showed me how to do it myself. Lots of yummy green tea! Afterwards, she explained the whole entire room to me, all the symbolism, the traditions behind it all, it was amazing!
When we were finished I went down stairs and noticed they have beautiful matcha whisks and for the most reasonable price I've seen in my entire 2 months in Japan.
I loved my experience so much that I brought a whole bunch of broshures back to my hostel to encourage other tourists to go!!
You must!! Camellia is the BEST place to have this experience

Reviewed by: Meghan Caritativo , 2017/09/03My friends and I were vacationing in Japan, and sometimes traveling in a foreign country where you don't speak the language, but this tea ceremony instantly transported all of us away from the stress. Keiko was a wonderful host. She was so pleasant and so knowledgeable. We felt so at peace with her and learned so much! The green tea ceremony was fascinating and there is so much meaning behind every action. If you're in Kyoto, put this experience on your must do list!

勝林寺 写経体験 仏の心と向きあい心を無にするひととき（お抹茶付き）＜東福寺駅＞
初めての写経体験
Reviewed by: 嵐大好き親子, 2017/08/21写仏をされている方が数人居て、私達は座禅体験終了後に写経をしました。
手に粉のお香をつけ、お清めしてから始めました。
最初は集中してできるのですが、少し老眼のため、だんだんと小さい字がみずらくなり、字が乱れてしまったように思います。
娘は集中して綺麗に書けたことが楽しかったようです。写仏が終わられていた方たちの話し声が書いている途中、少し気になりました。
終了後のお抹茶に氷が入っているのにびっくり、お抹茶の量がちょっと少なすぎたのが残念でした。お菓子もおいしかったのですが、ねりきりの和菓子を想像していました。
また、別のお寺の写経も体験してみたいです。
