Kyoto craft centre

These activities all take place at a beautifully renovated townhouse in Kyoto. The ground floor room is fully wheelchair accessible, while there is a chair lift to a traditional tatami-mat room upstairs. Lessons can take place in either space - whichever is most comfortable for you.

As the seat of the imperial family for more than 1,000 years, Kyoto is the epicentre of Japan's traditional arts. Tea ceremony is perhaps the most famous art - the ancient rituals surrounding the preparation and presentation of matcha powdered green tea date back to the 12th century when Buddhist monks began using tea in religious ceremonies.

We can also arrange hands-on lessons in Japanese flower arranging, or perhaps you'd like to learn how to fold an origami crane, or put your calligraphy skills to the test by painting Japanese kanji characters with brush and ink.
