Reviews
“It was truly such a wonderful and one of a kind experience. We did the tea ceremony, the calligraphy class, and amulet making all while wearing traditional kimonos. If there is one thing we’d recommend doing in Miyajima, it is 1000% this! The people running everything were truly so kind, friendly, and did a wonderful job explaining/teaching us everything! My favorite part was the learning the calligraphy and my girlfriends favorite part was the amulet making. We can totally see why some people have done this numerous times!”
“Super nette Menschen dort. Erklären alles mit sehr viel Ruhe. Man braucht keine Angst zu haben, dass man etwas falsch macht. Es wurden auch Fragen super nett beantwortet. Am Ende gab es noch eine Foto Session. Richtig gut. Es wurde auch auf Paare eingegangen und Pärchen Bilder gemacht. Zu Kimono Auswahl hat man auch Beratung bekommen, wenn man gefragt hat. Richtig super.”
“My son and I had an absolutely wonderful time doing the tea ceremony and calligraphy lesson. Surprisingly, having someone else dress us was our favorite part. It made us feel like royalty and was so neat to see all the steps that went into wearing traditional clothing. This has been our favorite activity so far on the trip.”

Très belle activité immersive dans la culture japonaise. Nous avons passé un très joli moment hors du temps.

We enjoyed all aspects of this activity, our hosts were friendly and professional and it was a pleasure to escape the busy main part of the island. I particularly enjoyed wearing the kimono with the beautifully tied obi.
The whole experience was magnificent. Many thanks.
Tolles Erlebnis

El personal fue muy atento, e hicieron que la experiencia fuera muy amena y divertida, además de muy instructiva. Si realizas los 3 talleres es muy instructivos y te llevas varios recuerdos del lugar. Las fotos que te hacen te las mandan casi de inmediato y son de muy buena calidad
Nous avons passé un moment hors du temps. nous avons été pris en charge, ma fille de 10 ans, mon mari et moi-même par des personnes très gentilles et très soucieuse de leur travail.
Erg leuke activiteit op een bijzonder mooie plek.
This was my second time with this experience- we returned after having a great experience in 2018. What a perfect way to experience culture and tradition, in a beautiful space, with friendly and kind facilitators. Highly recommend visiting Miyajima and spending time with this experience!
Ces dames nous ont très bien reçues et les kimonos sont magnifiques. La cérémonie du thé est parfaite tout en zénitude. Beau monent de détente. Le thé est très bon et le petit jardin est charmant. A recommander.
adoramos vestir o kimono e a aula de caligrafia! todos foram muito gentis e pacientes conosco. uma experiência única que recomendamos a todos que visitam a ilha!
Experiencia increíble, ¡repetiría una y mil veces!
