Experience Japanese calligraphy & tea ceremony at a traditional house in Nagoya

The history briefing, the writing experience, the tea flavor, the warm hosts, the location is reasonably easy to find.

Fantastic calligraphy and tea ceremony in a traditional house. The hosts were very friendly and informative with good english, and they will frame your calligraphy for you as a free souvenir. Definitely recommend if you are travelling to Nagoya.

Yuzo and Kumi are so welcoming into their traditional Japanese home. I really enjoyed the experience of the calligraphy and tea ceremony. They are very patient and great teachers! They even ordered us a taxi back to our hotel when the session was over. Would recommend giving them a visit to anyone in the Nagoya area looking to have a snippet of Japanese culture.

With an extensive knowledge of Japan and many different tea ceremonies attended we can simply state that a tea ceremony here is a highlight! Done with such respect and clear instructions it is a great way to learn more about the complex tea ceremony and to experience it in all tranquility. The ancient wooden house breathes authenticity and the owners who set up this business take care of it as well as the customers with the utmost respect. The calligraphy workshop is an excellent way to learn more about its history and the technique behind. You will never look at a Japanese scroll again in the same way after this workshop! The hosts are very kind and welcoming and excellent in what they do. We can highly recommend this combined workshop far away from the touristy ones you will find in Kyoto.

We had a fabulous time! The historical overview was very well done and provided clear context. Calligraphy is much harder to do but our teacher was very patient. The tea ceremony that followed was exquisite. We even had a chance to try our skills at whisking the tea…not as easy as it looks.
