Tea masters from Urasenke, the largest traditional tea ceremony school, will preside over an authentic tea ceremony. We will hold a one-hour tea ceremony experience every hour on August 6 and 7. Every participant needs to pay 1,000 Yen, for tea and traditional sweets, at the “Tea Ceremony” desk next to the reception area on site.    |
