Be a part of Kyoto’s tea culture

The Camellia Flower Teahouse offers an authentic tea ceremony experience and a chance to participate in a centuries-old ritual. Step inside a machiya, traditional townhouses that are disappearing due to urban development, with a warm welcome from your instructor. Before the actual ceremony, you will get a brief introduction into the history and culture surrounding tea. One traditional sweet later the instructor will be guiding you through the process of making a frothy bowl of matcha. Any and all questions are welcomed, so feel free to sate your curiosity about Japanese culture.

Your ticket options explained

You have the choice between a private or shared tea ceremony experience. The private ceremony offers your own host and tearoom, perfect for a small circle of family and friends, while the shared ceremony is a great chance to mingle with fellow enthusiasts. If you are accompanied by a guide or a translator, opt for the private ceremony which they can join at no extra cost. Kimono rental is a further upgrade for both options, adding another layer of authenticity to the experience.
