A true Japanese Tradition you must try! - Mari was a fantastic host! She showed us the true meaning of what it means to attend a Traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony. Dressing in the Traditional Kimono was so special. Mari was very professional and her passion to show us what it’s like to be part of the ceremony was unforgettable. She truly made the experience a day I’ll never forget!! Thank you to all the staff especially to the ladies who got me dressed into my Kimono! You were all wonderful! I highly recommend this to anyone wanting the true experience of a Traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony wearing a beautiful traditional Kimono ❤️❤️
