Japanese tea ceremony in Kimono┊The best experience!┊Things to do in Kyoto - Part Four┊Mark & Sarah
🌍Japanese Tea Ceremony in Kimono - Kyoto Adventures Part Four 🌍
In this vlog, we take part in one of Kyoto’s most traditional and iconic experiences - a Japanese tea ceremony, complete with kimonos! ðŸĩ👘
If you’re looking for something cultural and hands-on to do in Kyoto, this one’s definitely worth it.
We visited Maikoya Kyoto (@kimonoteaceremonykyotomaik1737) for their award-winning tea ceremony experience, where we learned all about the history, tools, and etiquette of this beautiful tradition. Guided by a tea master, we got to observe the delicate steps of making matcha green tea before having a go at making our own - using high-quality matcha powder that tasted amazing.
We take you through the experience of dressing in Kimono, the tea ceremony & enjoying walking round the Gion District.
The staff were super friendly, and the whole experience was as relaxing as it was educational.
📍 Here’s what we got up to:
- Japanese Tea Ceremony- A step-by-step demonstration of the tea-making process, with insights into its history and meaning.
- Wearing Traditional Kimonos - Getting dressed up in beautiful kimonos to make the experience even more special.
- Making Matcha - Learning how to make our own green tea under the guidance of an expert tea master.
- Cultural Insight - Discovering the significance of Kyoto in the tea ceremony tradition.
ðŸ›Ŧ Why Watch?
This one’s all about slowing down and appreciating the art of the tea ceremony. It’s a proper cultural experience, and wearing kimonos made it feel even more immersive. If you’re curious about Kyoto’s traditions or just want to see what a tea ceremony is really like, this vlog’s for you.

    I wish the second world war would've never happened. All we have now is something that goes back to the times of the Second World war. Cell phones, Computers, Cars, Advanced Building and all other kinds of stuff all have their foundations in the times of horror, fear and arms race. This beautiful city wouldn't be so crowded. Also there would be more remote villages like this.

      Hey! We just used booking.com for this apartment but they have a huge range on there. They also tend to have mobile deals to get discounts and you can book in advance. modernlivingjapan.com is also a great site but most places only let you book 30 days in advance which was too last minute for us, worth a look though! 😄
