I learned about it through Hasunozora. I was able to enjoy the tea ceremony experience with my Taiwanese partner and my Australian partner, who kindly taught me the lessons. It's very deep, and once again I feel the greatness of Kankan.You can see the tea bowls that Kankan and Konachi used, and they talked a lot about Mirapa, and I felt their enthusiasm. Above all, experiencing a tea ceremony is a very valuable experience. I hope I can come again sometime.

It was a valuable experience, and he also talked about the cast members of his favorite works. I'm very satisfied.

Lovely small tea house with a friendly and experienced owner.I think the entire ceremony itself was worth the visit, the owners are not stingy with tea servings, and are happy to chat and find out more about you (bring a translator app along if you cannot speak Japanese).Thank you for the experience(Caveat emptor, the matcha served was very strong, I had a caffeine rush for an hour plus)

Really friendly hosts! Great experience, would recommend! It’s 30-45 minutes experience and the ladies are preparing 2 different kind of green tea. You get two sweets as well and they even let you try to prepare the green tea as well. Very calming experience and you can ask questions if you like.

I really wanted to have a tea ceremony, and from the first moment this place gave me good impressions.The host was very nice and explained absolutely everything, and after the ceremony she answered all the questions we had and you could see her passion for her work.It also offers you typical sweets from the area so you can try them.During the ceremony he makes two different teas, one by one for each guest. Very grateful and a great experience. Highly recommended.
