One day
Whisk your own: a day learning the etiquette
A day that lets you say you experienced the tea ceremony, not just drank matcha. A full ceremony in the morning, then teahouse architecture and tea bowls in the afternoon.
One day
Understanding Kaga’s tea culture through its rooms and utensils
For understanding rather than experiencing: a daimyo family’s tea rooms, a museum of tea utensils, Ohi ware, and the domain’s official confectioner.
