  In addition, inside our authentic Japanese tea room, you can experience the Urasenke Tea Ceremony Program while dressed as a samurai. We also offer a Matcha Experience, where you can prepare your own matcha using a traditional bamboo whisk. Enjoy seasonal premium Japanese sweets from Sasaya Iori Kyoto while immersing yourself in the beauty of Japan’s tea culture with all five senses.

   

  As a new cultural attraction where visitors can experience Japan’s three iconic traditions—Samurai, Ninja, and Tea Ceremony—in one place, we aim to become a must-visit destination for travelers to Kyoto. Located just one train stop from Kyoto Station and only a 2-minute walk from Umekoji-Kyotonishi Station, we look forward to welcoming you.
