Get your discount tickets for the Kyoto Tea Ceremony Meditation Make Your Matcha with a Tea Master, save up to 9% !
Overview
Step away from the bustle of Kyoto and enjoy a quiet moment to simply be present. Inside a 100-year-old Kyoto townhouse, experience an authentic yet welcoming tea ceremony that invites you to slow down and connect with Japanese culture through curiosity and conversation. Only in summer, our tea ceremony takes on a special seasonal form. To welcome you during Kyoto’s warmest season, we prepare glass tea utensils whose clear, delicate beauty brings a quiet sense of coolness and lets you savor the season through your senses. Behind this experience is aeru, a Japanese cultural company founded 15 years ago, beginning with traditional crafts designed for children. Our mission is “Passing on Japan’s Spiritual Heritage to Future Generations.” We believe that both objects created by skilled artisans and moments shaped through tea ceremony can bring mindfulness and kindness into everyday life. It is our pleasure to share the spirit and culture behind them with guests from around the world.
