Thank you for coming and joining us!
Thank You very much for The amazing experience we had today. We are all very grateful that we were able to get this opportunity to experience such exiting cultural aspects as well as gratefulness towards the things in life that are the most important. You were a superb host and we felt very welcome. Again thank you very much for giving us a once in a lifetime experience.
I had a wonderful experience practicing chado tea ceremony with other learners and Mrs. Kaneko. She spoke English with me which allowed me to learn even more as I can't speak Japanese. Thank you so much!
Kay and her staff were very welcoming and made us feel at home. The ceremony was a moment of true and traditional Japan that we will carry forever in our hearts
We met with Kay and Erica and experienced a Japanese Tea ceremony, also known as 'the way of Tea.' Understanding 'ChaDo' with Matcha tea was truly enlightening and enjoyable. Kay, the host, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, providing in-depth explanations about the history and significance of Japanese tea. Erica's demonstration of the tea-making process was both captivating and educational. It was a first-class participation experience that left me with a newfound appreciation for Japanese tea culture. I highly recommend Urasenke to anyone seeking an authentic and enriching tea experience.
We loved our tea ceremony with Kay . She was so nice and informative and her English was excellent. We learnt about the history, the process and we even made our own tea. It was a very relaxing and very authentic and intimate experience . Kay went above and beyond the class , she also gave us information about Japanese culture from the Sakura to the meaning of specific Japanese words. She even did some bilingual Japanese / English explanations for my daughter who is studying Japanese . I strongly recommend Kay’s tea ceremony. Thanks again Kay and see you next time !
I had a great experience at Kay’s place.
Learned history of tea ceremony, mindset and actual behaviors.
Most importantly, I had fun with a great meal and matcha!
Would recommend to anybody with any level of knowledge on tea including people who have never touched it.
We had a truly pleasant time together with Kay Kaneko and her students. With her great knowledge in the art of Japanese tea ceremony and her very empathic teaching skills, we were able to get a glimpse into the Japanese culture and hospitality. All our questions were answered and the taste of the tea and the sweets was fantastic. We highly recommend to pay a visit to Kay if you visit Hiroshima.
My sister and I were looking for a traditional tea ceremony during our time in Hiroshima, and we are so happy that we found Kay! We had such a lovely time learning the cha do (way of tea) and getting the opportunity to make tea ourselves. Kay and her students were very knowledgeable in the tradition and welcoming and encouraging to us during the process. We will definitely be back on our next visit to Hiroshima and absolutely recommend this experience to anyone traveling here. Thank you again, Kay!
Thank you so so much, Kay! I had such a wonderful time enjoying Chado with you and your team- it was the perfect end to a wonderful trip.
After your recommendation, I went to Miyajima yesterday! You are so right- SO beautiful.
I'll be sure to come back if I'm back in Hiroshima one day. Best of luck to you (and your daughter!) in the meantime. Thank you again
It was a wonderful experience and the staff were so kind and welcoming! Gave great insight into the history behind tea and the practice of preparing tea in Japan. Would definitely come again!
