Japan｜Nishiki Origami Tsuruya｜Kyoto Kimono & Tea Ceremony (or Calligraphy) Experience

- Itinerary Introduction -

【Change into Kimono and Experience the Tea Ceremony】

First, you will choose your favorite kimono from over 200 kimonos, and the staff will help you put it on. Ladies can enjoy free hair styling! After changing into a kimono, you can experience the tea ceremony in the tea room. After watching the tea master teach you how to make tea in English, you can actually try making matcha in a teacup. This is a plan where you can enjoy matcha while tasting Japanese sweets from a long-established shop that has been in business for over 100 years.

【Put on kimono and experience tea ceremony and calligraphy】

In addition to the kimono and tea ceremony experience, you can also try authentic calligraphy, such as how to make ink and how to use a brush. After receiving the instructions on calligraphy, select your favorite character from the list of kanji and write it with a brush. Finally, clean the book on colored paper and take it home as a souvenir. There is also an option where you can make your own written characters into T-shirts!

【Tea Ceremony and Gold Leaf Experience】

This is a special event that combines tea ceremony experience with gold leaf craft. First, you will change into a kimono and experience an authentic Japanese tea ceremony. Under the guidance of a skilled tea master, you will feel the profound heritage of Japanese culture and spend a rare quiet time. After the tea ceremony, you will continue wearing the kimono and participate in the gold leaf application experience.

More than 98% of gold leaf produced in Japan comes from Kanazawa. It is said that the earliest gold leaf production in Kanazawa began in 1593. This experience will use high-purity gold leaf and be hand-applied onto a small plate. Gold foil is extremely thin and will fly away with a slight blow. Use this precious gold foil to make a sparkling golden dish!

The finished work can be taken home as a souvenir.
