Discover the Essence of Matcha in Kyoto

When you set aside your busy hands and sip a cup of matcha, your thoughts begin to settle and your breath slows. The world around you comes into focus. You hear the birds outside the window. You notice the leaves beginning to change. You feel the moment rather than move through it.

This is more than tea. It is a moment of calm. A quiet immersion into Kyoto’s cultural soul. This is the world of the tea ceremony, a moment of Zen, the essence of Japanese culture.

At The Hotel Seiryu Kyoto Kiyomizu, our tea ceremony invites you to connect with the rhythm of tradition in a serene setting. Guided by experienced tea masters and framed by Kyoto’s timeless beauty, it is a tranquil journey into the heart of Japanese hospitality.
