A 45-minute Osaka tea ceremony in a tatami room, with an English-speaking instructor, hands-on matcha, and seasonal sweets.
“Ayaka was a wonderful speaker and so interesting. Very entertaining. The sumos were retired, so not as big as you would expect, but the history was new to me. The public could fight them, lots of fun.”
Learn matcha and Japanese tea etiquette in Dotonbori with a small-group ceremony, sweets, and hands-on matcha-making in about 45 minutes.
“This was such a unique experience to witness the formality of the ceremony and understand the rich history behind it. Definitely recommend!”
Join a 1-hour Osaka matcha class with an English host, make your own cup, and enjoy it with Japanese sweets in a small group.

“My wife and I felt immersed and a part of the Japanese culture from this activity. Our guide and teacher Nokko-san is phenomenal. She is a very patient and encouraging teacher during our calligraphy session. And throughout all the sessions (kimono fitting, calligraphy drawing, and tea ceremony) Nikki-san is very knowledgeable and insightful. I would recommend to anyone that really wants to dive right into the Japanese culture and tradition.”

Throughout the trip, he explained the history of Nara and shared all the important details about each place we visited. I highly recommend this activity to anyone in Osaka looking to enjoy a unique and wonderful day. Thank you, Yao, for giving us such a beautiful day!”
