Overview

Chado, a tea ceremony that has roots in Zen, was established in Japan more than 400 years ago. Its fundamental form and style has never changed, and there are still many people studying and enjoying the culture worldwide. A Tea room is a space in which people experience mindfulness, and the tea-making process provides spiritual discipline. This is a chado school licensed from Urasenke Chado School in Kyoto, one of the biggest chado schools in the world. Ms. Mika Soka Haneishi, the owner of the school is a first degree instructor of Urasenke. She has been practicing Chado for over 25 years. This is not tourism—it is rather an immersion in culture.

Was a beautiful and informative experience watching a Tea Ceremony "performance" and then learning how to make our own matcha. I had such a great time.

We enjoyed everything (the host, the tea room, the cha/ matcha, the explanations …). Our kids even wanted to go back for another round the next day :).

Great experience

Published on Apr, 2025

My husband and i had a great experience with the tea ceremony. The host was very knowledgeable regarding the Japanese Tea drinking ceremony. One important takwaway was the importance of taking time to relax, renew and rejuvenate our physical and spiritual self and spending time with family and love ones by partaking in tea and wagashi.
