“It was truly such a wonderful and one of a kind experience. We did the tea ceremony, the calligraphy class, and amulet making all while wearing traditional kimonos. If there is one thing we’d recommend doing in Miyajima, it is 1000% this! The people running everything were truly so kind, friendly, and did a wonderful job explaining/teaching us everything! My favorite part was the learning the calligraphy and my girlfriends favorite part was the amulet making. We can totally see why some people have done this numerous times!”

“Micchi! Such a competent, friendly and knowledgable guide! We wanted a break from the usual touring and chose this tour to get away from the city and enjoy a little nature. We so enjoyed every minute of what we saw and did. The climbing was a bit strenuous, but good for us! And, the view at the top is quite fantastic. Don’t want to spoil too much for any readers, but the time in the forest and tea ceremony were quite special because these are things you don’t do on other tours. It felt more personal.”

“Wonderful experience to dress in traditional kimonos and participate in tea ceremony. The staff were so helpful and courteous”

“Loved being dressed in a kimono we had lots of pictures taken during the entire tour. Making tea was interesting and trying to write a few symbols in Japanese was a lot harder than it looked. Our efforts on wooden spoons were beautifully wrapped for a souvenir”

“The tour was really nice! Learned more about Shinto, did some unique yoga and loved the modern way of the tea ceremony. The guide told us interesting stuff about the history of the place and the view on the top was amazing.”

“This was a lovely experience from beginning to end. The location is exceptionally beautiful, and I learned so much from the calligraphy lesson as well as the tea ceremony. Their hospitality was fantastic.! I would highly recommend this as a place to go while traveling here”

“This is a small intimate experience which I found to be joyous. My son and I learned so much and our teacher was just magical. I was hesitant about putting on a kimono at my age (69!) and my shape ( rounded in the middle area), but the laRead more”

“Yurie was very kind and explained the history of the store very nicely. We had a good chat and she prepared matcha for us. It was delicious and the sweets were tasty too.”

“Excellent, the hostess is very kind and the activities are interesting. As my tour of the city was cancelled this morning, she offered for her husband, an American historian, to do a 2h tour. For a price of course, but that’s normal and I’ll get a refund of the same amount for the other tour anyway 😊”

“Give yourself plenty of time to arrive. The room is on the second floor. The ceremony is very organized and we felt absolutely comfortable with our minimal Japanese. You will have an amazing time and learn so much! Highly recommend!”

“I joined Naomi’s fantastic and thoughtful tour, and it was a truly great experience. Her authentic Japanese-style house was amazing — it has 200 years of history, but has been renovated so it feels almost new while still keeping a retro atmoRead more”
