Experience an authentic private matcha tea ceremony in a traditional Kyoto tea room, guided in the spirit of omotenashi—Japan’s philosophy of wholehearted hospitality.

Hosted by a Kyoto local from a kimono family, this is not a demonstration, but a quiet and personal cultural experience.

Inside a real tea room, you will observe the careful preparation of matcha and learn the meaning behind each movement, tool, and gesture. Every element reflects centuries of tradition and the intention to create harmony between host and guest.

You will be welcomed as a guest and served matcha and traditional Japanese sweets, allowing you to experience the atmosphere of a genuine tea gathering.

This fully private experience offers a rare opportunity to step away from the crowds and encounter the living culture of Kyoto in an intimate and meaningful way.

During this 90-minute experience, you will: Begin in the machiai (waiting room), where you will learn about the philosophy and cultural meaning behind the Way of Tea (Japanese tea ceremony). Purify your hands and spirit at the tsukubai stone basin. Enter the tea room through the nijiriguchi, expressing humility as you step inside. Observe a traditional demonstration of matcha preparation, noticing the subtle sounds, movements, and atmosphere that define the tea ceremony. Enjoy a bowl of freshly whisked matcha accompanied by two types of Japanese sweets: a traditional fresh Japanese sweet (omogashi) and delicate dry sweets (higashi). Take part in a hands-on matcha-whisking experience, preparing your own bowl of tea under gentle guidance. Spend a quiet moment in cultural conversation and personal reflection, allowing space for questions and deeper understanding. Afterwards, take a guided walk through our family’s traditional Japanese house, shaped by my grandfather’s refined aesthetic sensibilities and attention to detail. At the end of the experience, receive a small heartfelt gift to take home as a reminder of your time in the tearoom.

Such a magical experience! I visited with a friend recently. The owner was very kind in teaching us, and they were incredibly knowledgeable about the tea ceremony. It was a fascinating experience. The matcha was delicious, and the traditional sweets (wagashi) were beautiful. If you want to understand the heart of Japanese hospitality (Omotenashi), you must try this.

I was able to experience it alone. The tea and Japanese sweets were of course very good, and I was able to have a deep discussion with the teacher about art. The place had a very seasonal feel and was lovely.

A tea ceremony with a pleasant rustic atmosphere in a tea room. It is a wonderful experience, with simple tools and careful manners, that heals the hasty minds of modern people and teaches them true richness.
It was a calm space and I had a relaxing time. The warm hospitality of the owner and the combination of matcha and Japanese sweets are exquisite. Thank you for explaining it to foreigners in an easy way

Miyashita Kyoto Guide offers an authentic slice of Kyoto’s tradition. The atmosphere is serene, with the beautiful old house and gentle scent of wood making you feel transported in time. The tea ceremony here is genuine and carefully performed, with delicious matcha and a chestnut sweet, in a gorgeous tea room. The host is truly knowledgeable and passionate, sharing the traditions and spirit of Kyoto in perfect English. I left with a deeper appreciation for Japanese manners and culture. If you want a heartfelt, meaningful Kyoto experience, this place is a hidden gem I highly recommend.

It was such a wonderful experience. We were able to spend a quiet and calm time in an authentic tea room. The host was very kind and explained the tea ceremony operation, tools, meaning of hanging scrolls, etc. in an easy-to-understand manner and answered my questions politely. Seasonal Japanese sweets and matcha were also very delicious, and I could feel the depth of Japanese culture from the gestures of the tea ceremony. It is a warm and peaceful experience that even first-timers can join with confidence. I highly recommend it.

I think it's a good idea to experience the tea ceremony at least once in your lifetime in Kyoto, the birthplace of the tea ceremony. Please come and experience the Japanese spirit.

I was genuinely impressed by the quality and depth of this tea ceremony experience. The host welcomed me warmly in the waiting room, wearing a beautiful kimono, and guided me to the chashitsu while explaining each step with clarity and kindness. Inside the tea room, I received detailed and engaging explanations about every movement, utensil, and tradition of sadō. The insights into the room’s layout and decorations created a calm and elegant atmosphere that made everything even more memorable and meaningful. The wagashi was beautifully crafted, delicious, and carefully chosen for the season, as were the utensils. When the matcha was prepared, I could truly feel the harmony and mindfulness behind each gesture. Overall, it was an authentic and enriching cultural experience that I highly recommend. Even if, like me, you have never taken part in a tea ceremony before, it is a safe and welcoming place for everyone, where you can freely ask questions and interact with the host, who gently guides you through the deeper layers of Japanese spirit and culture.
Great experience!
