Step inside Sakura Experience Japanese Culture, a serene home near Nijo Castle where privacy meets artistry. Trusted by dignitaries, cultural figures, and visiting museum curators, our wide tea room now hosts ikebana and calligraphy classes, surrounded by Kyoto craftsmanship. Feel the texture of custom-made tea bowls commissioned from Kiyomizu and Raku potters, savor premium matcha sourced directly from tea gardens in Uji City, and enjoy seasonal confections created by one of Kyoto’s historic wagashi houses. In our authentic tea rooms, Koma and Hiroma, certified masters invite you to experience the quiet elegance of Japan’s traditions in an intimate, respectful setting.
