Elegant Oiran Makeover and Photo Shoot Experience in Kyoto

Amazing experience

Reviewed by: Miwa

We had fun choosing our robes and having our pictures taken. The pictures were amazing. We could help but buy all data CD. I would recommend it to anyone going to Kyoto.

Traditional Tea Ceremony Experience near Kinkakuji Temple in Kyoto

Definitely worth it

Reviewed by: Svea

Since 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:)

足の悪い70代母が嵐山の竹の小径を見たいというのでお願いしました。
数年前に竹の小径に人力車専用道が整備されたそうで、歩く人に迷惑をかけずに楽しむことができました。
スタッフは常に笑顔で話しかけてくれ、とても爽やかな時間でした。
開閉式の屋根は紫外線カットだそうです。
写真スポットで３人（２台）の撮影もしてもらい、とてもよい記念になりました。

Authentic Ninja Training Experience at Ninja Dojo in Kyoto

Wonderful Experience!

Reviewed by: Ash.Y

The 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

The 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

Very 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

This 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.

Traditional Tea Ceremony in English near Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto

An absolute must!!!

Reviewed by: Jacquelyn

What 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

Calming & Comforting

Reviewed by: Meghan Caritativo

My 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

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。

Awesome vacation experience!!

Reviewed by: Nikki

I had my Oiran makeover session this morning. I was excited but nervous because I am plus size and was afraid that nothing would fit me. I really wanted to do this so I went and I am so glad I did. The staff was very sweet and respectful and made proper adjustments to the outfit to make sure I looked great. They did a great job on my hair , which was in braids and makeup. The photographer helped me pose and made me feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend Esperanto Studio and will cherish my photos.
