We happened to just walk past this place and asked if we can participate. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. We had a wonderful experience and we tried a tasty traditional sweet (yatsuhashi) which we then ended up buying from Kyoto to take home to our family.

I had a fantastic experience. I was traveling solo through Kyoto, and booked this tea ceremony and I ended up being the only participant, so I had a private session. I absolutely LOVE my pictures from dressing up in the kimono; I will treasure them. I can't wait to return to Kyoto and visit Maikoya again! It is a bit difficult to find this place though, as it's almost inside an open-air mall, so ask around if you feel you are close by and the local store owners will direct you where to go. However, I would try to arrive 30 minutes early just in case you have trouble locating them (I was late!).
Would highly recommended, from the moment you enter you are treated with the utmost respect, the Japanese lady was very intelligent, humble & informative. This visit made me respect the Japanese people even more. There are many different experiences you can book here, amazing little place.
The tea ceremony was really enchanting! My favourite part was dressing up in a kimono, learning how to make matcha tea and experiencing traditional Japanese desserts. A great memory when you have your friends along side you learning about Japanese tea ceremonies
This was just wonderful. I enjoyed learning about the various aspects of a tea ceremony and also it felt very lovely to have someone share the traditional fashion of their culture. The atmosphere was very nice and accommodating of foreigners. Kimonos in various sizes. And lessons and communication in English. Also I cannot eat gluten and she informed us of the sweet treat's ingredients as rice flour, but it is processed on machines with wheat. This was very helpful Easy to get to as well. I truly enjoyed it and will recommend this location to friends. Arigatou.
