Kyoto - the home of tea ceremony - is undoubtedly the place to enjoy a traditional tea ceremony. At Juan they have the wonderful motto „ichigo ichie“ meaning a once in a lifetime encounter, just as when the planets align. This motto you feel in the peacefulness and respect with which the tea ceremony is conducted. We learned a lot and can very much recommend this experience for you and your partner. It creates a shared experience of the depth of Japanese culture to bring home.

I can't recommend this enough! The experience was for a small group and did a great job walking through history and customs, showing a demonstration, including a hands on portion, and answering any additional questions. I loved the layout of the course and it was well worth the time! This helped deepen our appreciation for tea culture and also allowed us to comfortable partake in tea later in our trip as well.

The hosts could not have been more gracious, and they nicely explained basic aspects of the tea ceremony, but the room was a bit shabby. It was not the best example of the aesthetics of cha-do.

Really good and fun. I took my kids and they loved it. They gave you little snacks. You got to make the tea too. Very nice. Really good for 7 and up. You have to be respectful but I took my 9 and 12 kids and they loved it.

The hostess was so gracious and knowledgeable. It was my first time at a tea ceremony and i have to say the history behind it was magnificent. Great activity for family, friends or couples.

Really cool to learn about the intricacies and traditions behind the Japanese matcha and tea ceremonies. Instructors were so kind and gave us free Japanese sweets to have with the matcha.

Loved every minute. Our host was very friendly, her English was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Well worth the money and would thoroughly recommend.

We booked a tea ceremony group lesson that lasted a bit over an hour with Maki. She is very kind and speaks English extremely well. We learned how to prepare matcha tea for an informal ceremony and we tried some sweets. It was a very interesting experience and we definitely recommend it to everyone who visits Kyoto.

We did a group ceremony with 7 other strangers. the experience is relatively expensive but nice - for sure, we were able to appreciate the importance of Tea Ceremonies without having to endure a full 4 hours event. All things considered, it was money well spent.

Wonderful, informative, beautiful. The ceremony taught us so much about Japanese culture. Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed it. Kept the 12 year and the the 67 year old enthralled. Thank you!

Very interesting, charming Host and peaceful atmosphere. I really enjoyed the ceremony. Thank you for this wonderful experience

Very nice experience. Great explanation about the tea making ceremony, in perfect English by a Japanese tea ceremony master. After that you can make you own matcha tea and drink it, with sweets.

Our host was kind and enthusiastic. She provided insights into the history behind the japanese tea ceremony. Her demonstration of the ceremony was well done. She took the time to see to each guest and answered our questions thoroughly.

The experience was amazing and we learned everything you need to know about Matcha and the tradicional Tea Ceremony. We loved every second if the experience and the Tea Master was amazing, really sweet, very professional and with amazing English.

Have been to Kyoto 3 times now and this was the best experience! Host was extremely knowlegeable and very informative. Was wonderful to get hands-on insight into such a culturally important ceremony. Thank you, we will recommend to everyone.
