PRIVATE Kimono Tea Ceremony for Groups TOKYO Maikoya

At Maikoya we can accommodate a group of up to 50 people. For larger groups we may be able to provide a solution as well since we train many tea ceremony specialists. Please kindly note that we allow our guests to perform the hands on tea making and serving activity rather than just demonstrating it, so it is a pure authentic ritual that your group members will cherish and remember for the rest of their lives.

*** This event can be reserved for 12 and more people.
*** For 18 people and more people, please kindly make a reservation via email (info@mai-ko.com) 

*** Children under 7 can not enter the tea ceremony venue. If you have a child under 6 in your party, you can not make the reservation for this experience.

*We kindly request that you contact us in advance regarding the participation of special needs.

It is ideal to wear a kimono during the traditional tea ceremony. The best thing at Maikoya is that you can dress up and enjoy the ceremony in an authentic tea ceremony room without leaving our facility. We are the only place in Kyoto where a group of any size can get engage in various cultural activities, including tea ceremony, in a traditional setting.

This activity involves

• Kimono wearing (optional, not all group members have to wear it)
• Explanation of the tea ceremony ritual and its cultural importance in Japan
• Performing the activity lead by a tea master
• Enjoying Japanese sweets served during the ceremony

NOTE

Instead of sitting on the floor, we also give you an option to do the tea ceremony performed by sitting on a chair (It is called Ryurei-shiki in Japanese). Please mention the number of people who will need chairs when booking. You will see a box titled “order notes.”
