  The Japanese tea ceremony, or sado, is a traditional cultural practice that dates back over 400 years and is based on the values of harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility. It is not simply about drinking matcha tea. At Nagasaki Private Tours, our tea ceremony experience is led by a genuine tea ceremony master who performs the ceremony according to traditional Japanese rules and etiquette, offering a truly authentic cultural experience rather than a simple tea tasting.
