My wife and I had a really great experience with our English translator and guide, Eri, and our traditional Japanese tea ceremony leader, who was a former Maiko. The experience begins with a walk through the town to the tea house, during which Eri gave us a lot of information about Uji, tea ceremonies, and Japanese life in general. They took such great care in helping my wife select a kimono for herself and took photos throughout the event to help us remember the occasion! Our leader was extremely graceful in leading us through the ceremony and we got to see how much care and intention was placed into making the tea. At the end, we received two coasters, lovingly made from the leader’s grandmother’s kimono— this was a deeply touching and personal touch. We were both really blown away by the whole experience. We’re also happy to have done the experience in Uji, which is the matcha capital of the world, and also hosts many cultural sites like Byodo-in. We wouldn’t have visited were it not for this experience! We would wholeheartedly recommend.
My daughter (13) and I both love matcha. We wanted to find a tea ceremony that wasn't kitschy or commercialized. When I read that this was a private experience with a retired geiko I had high hopes, but even my expectations fell short. Eri, our guide/translator is an aficionado of matcha, and thus has educated herself on the history, farming, and strains in the area (much like a wine sommelier, though she will deny the title). Normally we would have a small tour of Uji, but due to the rain we went straight to the beautiful house along the riverwalk and spent extra time chatting with Eri and Ruriko. Our elegant host was incredibly gracious and made sure we were warm and dry while conversing with us, sharing details of her fascinating life. The tea ceremony itself is beautiful, and I could think of no one better to show us and teach us than a geisha with decades of experience. Eri and Ruriko even gave us directions on some great spots to buy the matcha we liked best (we tasted 4 varieties during our time) and some other shopping. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and also got us down to Uji, which we would have bypassed otherwise and missed out on what became our favorite city during the trip.
We spent two wonderful hours with Ruriko and Eri, starting with a pickup at Uji station before a peaceful walk to a local tea plantation, where Eri walked us through the entire tea-making process with genuine passion and expertise. We then made our way to Ruriko’s home for a tea tasting and a traditional tea ceremony that felt completely authentic — not curated for tourists, but lived-in and real.What sets this experience apart is the people behind it. Ruriko’s personal story is remarkable, and the warmth both she and Eri bring to every moment makes you feel like a welcomed guest rather than a visitor on a schedule. You step into a quieter, more contemplative world — one that stays with you long after you leave Uji.If you’re looking for something that goes beyond sightseeing and connects you to Japanese culture on a genuinely human level, this is it. We will absolutely be back. Highly, highly recommended.
The ceremony was so peaceful and a very complete experience. The house is original and a very calmed space. Eri, Ruriko and her daughter, Sumire, hosted us and were very welcoming.
This has been the most amazing tea ceremony with a great guide. Eri was super informative and knew everything about the surroundings. We absolutely loved our experience.
Really great experience! The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful, and I truly felt involved throughout the entire ceremony—even traveling solo. The tea, matcha, and sweets were all delicious, and the performance was absolutely beautiful.The kimonos were stunning, and they thoughtfully considered all my preferences.Highly recommend—such a special and memorable experience!
The service was excellent. The variety of kimonos to selected , and you can watch a meticulous tea ceremony. Photography services are also available. The location is fantastic, with beautiful views of the surrounding house. I definitely want to return if I have the chance, and I'll recommend it to my friends. It's a must-visit destination when in Uji
The explanation of the tea ceremony and wearing a kimono was very clear. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.
Wonderful experience, very kind people and the matcha ceremony was so exciting and great to experience! I can totally recommend :)

Incredible! Eri our guide and translator was so knowledgeable and friendly. We took a tour of a local tea farm and then had the most amazing matcha tea tasting and tea ceremony with Ruriko, a former Geiko. Learning about her story and tasting tea with her along with Eri was one of our most memorable experiences in Japan! We had the opportunity to even perform the ceremony for ourselves. They also gave us a lot of recommendations for Uji and there is definitely a lot to see.
