Enjoy a tea ceremony and kimono
near Kiyomizu-dera

The experience starts when you arrive at the shop near Kiyomizu-dera at your booked time. Your booking time is the time to arrive at the shop, not the start time of the tea ceremony. Choosing and putting on a kimono and joining the tea ceremony take about 2 hours in total.

Choose and wear your favorite kimono

Pick a kimono from a wide range of styles and colors, and experienced staff will help you choose one that suits you and dress comfortably. Basic hair styling, kimono accessories, an obi belt, traditional sandals, a Japanese-style bag and socks are included. Yukata are provided from June to September and kimono from October to May.

Enjoy matcha in a quiet tea room

The traditional tea ceremony takes place on the 3rd floor of the same building. Prepare and enjoy matcha in a quiet setting, taste traditional Japanese sweets and learn about Japanese tea culture. The start time of the ceremony may shift slightly depending on how long it takes to choose and put on your kimono.

Explore Kyoto in your kimono

Before or after the ceremony, walk to nearby sights such as Yasaka Pagoda (Hokanji Temple), Sannenzaka, Ninenzaka and Kiyomizu-dera in your kimono. Guests with an afternoon booking can come in the morning to get dressed and go sightseeing first; the staff will let you know the tea ceremony time and when to return. Please return the kimono to the shop by 5:30 PM on the same day.

※ If you arrive late, the schedule or content may need to be adjusted, and depending on the delay, participation in the tea ceremony may not be possible. You can still enjoy wearing the kimono and sightseeing.
