Private Kyo-Machiya Tea and Ikebana Hands-on Experience

25 minutes (approximately)

Step away from the crowds and immerse yourself in a new-style Japanese cultural attraction. Located in a traditional, 100-year-old Kyo-Machiya near Fushimi Inari, Shizuhamo offers a fun, private, and fully self-guided experience. This reservation is made by one representative guest. You may visit together with family or friends.

During your exclusive 25-minute reserved slot, your group will have the entire space to yourselves. You won't just look around; you can actively touch and try various cultural activities at your own pace. Discover the serene tea garden, step through the traditional small entrance (nijiriguchi), touch the hanging tea kettle, try grinding matcha using a traditional stone mill (for a hands-on experience), strike the gong, and arrange highly realistic artificial flowers.

This is a perfect opportunity to step inside an authentic historic townhouse and enjoy a unique, hands-on cultural experience in complete privacy.
