Tea ceremony experience in a kimono & Wakayama Castle and city walk

You can enjoy a tea ceremony experience wearing a kimono at the long-established "Beniya kimono shop" founded in Meiji 11 near Wakayama Castle.
Please choose a kimono from the traditional [genuine silk kimono] or [KIMONOWEAR] developed to pass on Japanese culture to the future.
[KIMONOWEAR] uses the most comfortable knit among Wakayama Meriyasu.
Try a new kimono that feels as comfortable as if you were not wearing it.

After dressing, experience the tea ceremony. You can enjoy the tea ceremony of the Omotesenke family, which is related to the castle town of Kishu Castle.
We will tell you how to drink tea from Zen stories, which will be the theme of the day, so even first-timers can rest assured.
If you have time, you can also make tea for yourself!

Wearing a kimono and tightening your obi will tighten your mind.
The time of the tea ceremony in a kimono sharpens your five senses and allows you to enjoy the moment carefully.
We hope that everyone who participates will enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime meeting.
By all means, I hope you will have such a moment of "savoring the present" in Wakayama.

After the tea ceremony experience, you can freely enjoy walking around Wakayama Castle and other places in a kimono.
