Absolutely great

An amazing morning
I was able to book the experience as part of my Hiroshima part of the trip. The experience is a must and a highlight on the trip. Allow enough time to explore the island and this activity. As soon as I was welcome, the next step was kimono dressing. They have several selection of colors that you can pick and they took several pictures with the kimono After that, a master did the tea ceremony and explained every step. Probably the best part was the application and creation of my own tea.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review. We are hoping you will enjoy Matcha tea of your own. You looked amazing with kimono!

Memorable kimono and tea ceremony experience
This is the place to experience tea ceremony and to rent a kimono. I originally only wanted to go for the first thing out of these two, but then I got convinced. And I'm very glad I did. This whole experience is one of my most fun and the most memorable experiences on my trip in Japan. The ladies working at the place are very nice, fluent in English and almost pro photographers. You can buy some local souvenirs at the shop at the reception. I really wanted to make a reservation for me ahead of my visit, but it was just not possible - I didn't see any system to do this through. Luckily, when I arrived, there was just one other couple having interest in the tea ceremony, so I just needed to wait to the starting time of the closest ceremony, not for some other round of it.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that the tea ceremony and kimono experience became one of the most memorable parts of your trip to Japan. It was a pleasure to share this special experience with you. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the reservation process and will continue working to make booking information easier to find for future guests. We hope to welcome you again someday!

Lovely relaxed kimono and tea ceremony
We had a wonderful time with Okeiko! 徳寿寺 temple on Miyajima is the perfect relaxed (and highly traditional) setting for careful kimono dressing and the tea ceremony. We all felt personally catered to and loved each of our hosts attentiveness to detail. Highly recommend this experience as opposed to a busy setting like Kyoto or Tokyo. 💕
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review. We also had a wonderful time with you. This is a very peaceful place, and the trees in the garden change their appearance with the seasons. We would love to welcome you again in a different season.

Kimono and Tea Ceremony in Miyajima: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hiroshima.
How much does Kimono and Tea Ceremony in Miyajima cost?
+
Prices start at $92 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hiroshima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Kimono and Tea Ceremony in Miyajima take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hiroshima is not rushed.
Is Kimono and Tea Ceremony in Miyajima worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 79 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hiroshima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Kimono and Tea Ceremony in Miyajima?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Kimono and Tea Ceremony in Miyajima suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Kimono and Tea Ceremony in Miyajima?
+
Around 28 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hiroshima can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hiroshima and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Kimono and Tea Ceremony in Miyajima start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hiroshima within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hiroshima?
+
On Outty we rank every Hiroshima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Peaceful Hiroshima & Miyajima UNESCO 1 Day Bus Tour, Hiroshima Peace (Heiwa) Walking Tour at World Heritage Sites, Hiroshima and Miyajima Day Trip with Itsukushima Shrine & Ferry. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hiroshima?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hiroshima?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

What languages is Kimono and Tea Ceremony in Miyajima offered in?
+
