Upon arrival at the enchanting 140-year-old machiya townhouse, you'll be transported back in time to Japan's rich heritage.

Explore the historic residence, a relic from the Meiji era that once welcomed Kyoto's dignitaries.
Embark on a 45-minute tea ceremony under the expert guidance of bilingual instructors. Immerse yourself in the elegant rituals of this ancient practice within a tranquil tatami room, where the essence of the machiya's allure envelops you.

This serene interlude amidst your Kyoto exploration promises to be a cherished memory long after the last drop of tea is savored.
