Not allowed
- Video recording
Know before you go
- If you reserve the Kimono wearing add-on, it is necessary to come 20 minutes before the start time of the tea ceremony (a reservation is necessary, as it is difficult to add a kimono suddenly when you arrive)
- Please don’t come earlier than 30 minutes before the start time of the tea ceremony because the last session will not have finished yet
- There is no dress code for this activity
- Calling a taxi after the exercise is impossible because the taxi companies won’t get on the phone immediately. A big taxi stand is just in front of the activity location. It usually open around 5:30 PM
- If you might have difficulty sitting on floor, please inform the supplier and they will be able to provide chairs
- This tour is recommended for those who wish to learn Japanese traditional culture, as it offers the full version of the thin tea ceremony as opposed to a simplified version customized for foreign tourists
- Maximum is 15 people for group tea
