Experience a Japanese Tea Ceremony in a Kimono in Japan

Japanese culture is steeped in history and tradition, and today we're going to learn all about it with a traditional tea ceremony where we make green tea while wearing a kimono. Kimono is basically made of just one fabric. There's a very important art to dressing in the kimono, so they're going to teach us how to get dressed. All right. Make it nice and snug. Now that we're fully dressed in our kimono, it's time to head up for the tea ceremony. Tea ceremonies started in the 1600s. It's the combination of Shintoism and also the Zen, which is related to harmony and transience. That's beautiful. I thought it was really fun. I like being able to dress up in the kimono. The ceremony was really interesting. I didn't realize it started with samurais, which is something I found out, and I would definitely come back. There are plenty of opportunities to take photos throughout the place and even dress up as a samurai warrior. This has been such a delightful experience, learning about the history of the kimono, and then the tea ceremony, a ritual that's been happening for hundreds of years. This has been the perfect way to immerse ourselves in the culture of Japan.
