Experience the tea ceremony in kimono, in the heart of Kyoto.
Kyoto Tea Ceremony & Matcha Making TIA offers a warm and welcoming experience where you can wear kimono, enjoy matcha and sweets, and discover Kyoto’s culture.
Concept
At TIA, we believe the tea ceremony should be welcoming, easy to enjoy, and fun—never too formal or difficult.
Our sessions are guided in English, so international guests can easily understand and enjoy the experience.
Each session lasts just 20–30 minutes, allowing you to experience the essence of Japanese culture without affecting your sightseeing plans.
Guests use authentic Kiyomizu-yaki tea bowls, taste premium Kyoto-grown matcha, and enjoy traditional sweets.
You are welcome to take photos freely inside the tatami room, capturing beautiful and traditional Kyoto memories.
Since TIA is located alongside a kimono rental shop, you can wear a kimono before joining the tea ceremony—creating a truly unique and memorable Kyoto experience.
Our Vision
Our vision is to share the beauty and joy of Japanese culture through both the tea ceremony and traditional kimono.
Embracing the spirit of ichigo-ichie—cherishing each unique encounter—we aim to create experiences where guests connect with Kyoto’s traditions in a warm and welcoming way.
Wearing a kimono, preparing tea, and savoring the moment becomes a treasured memory of your journey—and a bridge connecting people from around the world.
