I loved all ceremony from the beginning to the end. We are in love with the lady who was the instructor of macha preparation :) Also calligraphy was very interesting and we were enjoying it a lot. In resume, everything was perfect!

Really great fun - you get a mix of seeing training styles and some bouts at the end too. Audience members can go in a ballot to participate. The snack bag was a good souvenir.

The matcha and sweets were great. I loved our instructor on the 4th floor. I understand there is not to be done about the scenery, but a more serene environment, maybe outdoors, would really make it more enjoyable. I think people would be willing to travel further for the added benefit.
