Gion tea ceremony and matcha whisking workshop in a machiya

No reviews yetKyoto, Kyoto Prefecture1 h 45 min

Overview

A tea master receives six guests at a time in a restored Gion townhouse: a full chanoyu sitting, then everyone whisks their own bowl and learns why the water temperature matters more than the powder.

Highlights

  • A full chanoyu sitting, not a demonstration
  • Whisk your own bowl under the master's hand
  • Restored machiya, five minutes from Yasaka Shrine
