Authentic traditional tea ceremony
This was a traditional tea ceremony. My family and I enjoyed learning about an authentic ritual. This was a great experience and I encourage people looking for a yea ceremony to pick this one. The staff is very professional and friendly.

So kind and accommodating .
Everyone at the ceremony was so kind. Myself and daughter, got lost on the way twice and ended up being 30 minutes late. We marched through Kyoto in incredible humid conditions arriving sweaty and worked up. Everyone was so kind and managed to squeeze us in. They didn’t rush us, and allowed us to experience everything at our pace. The choice of kimonos is fantastic. Including Hair accessories and bags. The tea ceremony was so calming and beautifully executed. I hope that we did it justice. I would 100% recommend men and women to give this a try. They also allow you to walk around Kyoto in the kimono until the end of the day. We hired a local tuktuk to show us some of the local site. As we had already walked three times the amount after getting lost on the way. Haha

Absolutely wonderful experience!!
This is a fabulous experience. We were warmly greeted and quickly showed where to pick out our kimonos. Staff assisted in fully dressing us, including purse, hair and shoes. Then the tea ceremony - so professional, educational, and traditional. Our tea master also took photos for us and taught us how to make the tea after he ceremony. So friendly and I would absolutely recommend this to anyone! A wonderful cultural experience filled with traditional instruction.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Kyoto : Okada Tea Ceremony & Kimono: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kyoto.
How much does Kyoto : Okada Tea Ceremony & Kimono cost?
+
Prices start at $13000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kyoto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Kyoto : Okada Tea Ceremony & Kimono take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Kyoto is not rushed.
Is Kyoto : Okada Tea Ceremony & Kimono worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kyoto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Kyoto : Okada Tea Ceremony & Kimono?
+
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 Kyoto : Okada Tea Ceremony & Kimono suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Kyoto : Okada Tea Ceremony & Kimono?
+
Around 9 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 Kyoto 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 Kyoto and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Kyoto : Okada Tea Ceremony & Kimono 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 Kyoto 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 Kyoto?
+
On Outty we rank every Kyoto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kyoto : Gion Make Your Own Chopsticks with Engraving Option, Award-Winning Authentic Ramen Making Experience in Kyoto, Hidden Kyoto E-Biking tour. 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 Kyoto?
+
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 Kyoto?
+
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.
