About this experience
From ¥9,900 p.p. (min. 2) | Same-day OK — book up to 2 hours before. Fully private, no strangers, just your group. A 19-year tea master guides you through authentic Enshu-ryū ceremony in a 100-year-old machiya in Kanazawa’s Nishi Chaya geisha district.
Step inside a 100-year-old machiya in Kanazawa’s Nishi Chaya geisha district for a completely private tea ceremony. Your host Yuta has practiced tea for 19 years in the Enshu-ryū tradition, rooted in samurai culture. This is not a group workshop — it is an intimate ceremony performed exclusively for you, in a tea room with tatami and tokonoma alcove.
During the 70-minute session, you will:
· Watch a full tea ceremony demonstration
· Whisk your own bowl of matcha.
· Enjoy traditional dry sweets (higashi)
· Ask anything — about tea, aesthetics, or Kanazawa
· Take a commemorative photo
Completely private. No other guests. No rush. English-guided throughout.
Please note:
· Socks recommended
· Additional guests: ¥9,900/person (max 5)
