Tea Ceremony at Camellia Garden

Step into a quiet world where the spirit of tea has been carefully preserved for centuries.

Camellia Garden is nestled inside a traditional Japanese home, built over 100 years ago. Located just a short walk from the famed rock garden of Ryoan-ji Temple, this charming setting offers a peaceful window into Kyoto’s enduring tea culture.

Here, the legacy of Sen no Rikyu—the historical figure who shaped the art of tea—lives on. Overlooking a beautifully maintained Japanese garden, guests are invited to experience a traditional tea ceremony and learn the cultural significance behind each graceful movement.

You will also have the opportunity to prepare your own bowl of matcha under expert guidance, deepening your connection with this timeless ritual.
