“Lovely place in a temple to discover the proper way to put a Kimono and how to drink tea in a tea ceremony. Sweets were good and there is plenty of choices of Kimono. Very welcoming staff, I had a lovely time.”
Kimono fitting on Miyajima, a hands-on matcha tea ceremony, and calligraphy at a Zen temple—small group, photo-friendly, great value.

Take three traditional lessons at Tokuju-ji Temple in Miyajima: kimono, calligraphy, tea ceremony, and an amulet, with photos emailed to you.
“This was an all-around fantastic experience! The hosts were informative, gracious, and we left knowing far more about Japanese culture than when we started. This was well worth it!”
Miyajima kimono and calligraphy in a temple setting. Choose your kanji, write your name, and take home a personalized rice scoop.
“It was a wonderful experience learning the strokes. We get to choose the kanji character and practice it before writing it on the wooden scoop. We get to write our name in hiragana or katakana as well! Overall, I loved it. Thanks for letting me pick a kanji character that was not on the list!”
Hiroshima kimono, koto music, and a simple tea ceremony in a characterful home near the Atomic Bomb Dome, plus games and photos.
“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…”
