About
Step into a restored machiya townhouse in Kyoto's Higashiyama district for an intimate tea ceremony at sunrise. Over ninety minutes, a third-generation tea master guides you through the preparation of matcha, the meaning of each gesture, and the seasonal sweets that accompany the bowl.
Why it's worth discovering
It is rare to find a ceremony this small and unhurried. The morning light through the shoji screens alone is worth the early alarm.
