Kyoto: Tea Ceremony Ju-An at Jotokuji Temple
1.Tea Ceremony Ju-An at Jotokuji Temple
At Ju-An, inside Kyoto’s Jotokuji Temple, an English-speaking guide introduces the grounds and a tea master demonstrates the matcha ritual. You’ll learn how to drink the tea, hear why each step matters and prepare a cup yourself. The 70-minute small-group session costs $29 per person; hosts such as Kate and Taka have led sessions.
“Superb intro to a tea ceremony (the "real" ones take 4 hours) with great hosts, super informative, engaging, entertaining, and made us really feel at peace, with the environment created, really reflecting the Ju-An created by the host.”
