Great cultural experience!
We had a great time in this cultural experience. We arrived late because we couldn't find the location (the landmark in the instructions had not been updated), but they graciously let us participate. It did take a chunk of time out of our Miyajima Island day, but getting to experience the kimono, calligraphy, and tea ceremony all in one was worthwhile. They even took a lot of pictures for us afterwards.
Response from the operator: We are sorry about the landmark. We cheched our page and made sure that was updated. Thank you for let us know. We had great time with you all. Thank you.

Good tea master, great dressers, fun calligraphy
The tea experience was thorough, going through each of the steps with explanation and reverence for the Japanese history and tradition. The dressers were very respectful and did not hurry the client, but included hair jewelry, different obi styles and kimonos that flattered the client The calligraphy class was instructive, but, of necessity provided just an introduction with encouragement, good brushes and ink, and an interested and interesting teacher We had fun and enjoyed every minute
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed our experience. We aim to provide our guests with an unforgettable experience. We would be very happy if that feeling came across to you. We hope to welcome you again.

An Miyajima experience not to be missed!
We had an amazing time at Okeiko. The ladies who ran the experience were very experienced, incredibly kind, and wonderful to talk to. They helped us pick our kimonos and assessories, expertly dressed us, and then took photos and videos in the temple grounds, which were shared with us afterwards. After photos were taken, we proceeded with the tea ceremony. The ladies talked us through the process and shared tea with us before we got an opportunity to make matcha tea ourselves. Finally we practised caligraphy before we picked our preferred kanji and painted it our own shamoji, which we got to take home with us. We truly had an amazing time, and we're taking home many memories to cherish. I strongly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Miyajima.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much. We always love to spend time with out guests. Happy to know that you liked us.

Spend a wonderful day learning Japanese Traditions. Extremely fun, highly recommend!
This was an amazing event. It was so much fun getting dressed up in the Kimono's the ladies were very kind getting us dressed, going out into the beautiful gardens and having our pictures was great! the pictures that was taken was wonderful to have. Learning the reasoning and how to do the tea ceremony was fun. And then actually making our tea was a lot of fun! However We were unable to finish both cups of matcha tea :-( we do apologize for that. We had a wonderful teacher for our calligraphy, Yuko was very patient with us. All the ladies spoke wonderful English that was wonderful. The surprise for us was all the pictures that you took of us during the day, it was wonderful to have.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us! We always try to take as many photos as possible so that your experience becomes a lifelong memory. Please remember Japan whenever you look back on them!

A must-visit when in Japan
This is a MUST try when visiting Hiroshima. This place offer such a lovely and unique experience which you will remember for a long long time. I was here back in 2018 and in 2025 I went back, because I had such great memories. And the second time was just as magical. The staff is so kind and lovely and you feel very very welcome. You get to learn a lot of interesting things, and you will get a very unique experience trying some of the special Japanese traditions. I really recommend everyone going to Japan visiting this place!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Miyajima Cultural Combo: Kimono, Tea and Calligraphy: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hiroshima.
How much does Miyajima Cultural Combo: Kimono, Tea and Calligraphy cost?
+
Prices start at $134 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 Miyajima Cultural Combo: Kimono, Tea and Calligraphy take?
+
Plan for about 1.7 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 Miyajima Cultural Combo: Kimono, Tea and Calligraphy worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 71 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 Miyajima Cultural Combo: Kimono, Tea and Calligraphy?
+
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 Miyajima Cultural Combo: Kimono, Tea and Calligraphy suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Miyajima Cultural Combo: Kimono, Tea and Calligraphy?
+
Around 25 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 1.7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Miyajima Cultural Combo: Kimono, Tea and Calligraphy 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 is included in Miyajima Cultural Combo: Kimono, Tea and Calligraphy?
+
Included: All Fees and Taxes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Miyajima Cultural Combo: Kimono, Tea and Calligraphy?
+
5 minutes walk from Miyajima Ferry Terminal, inside Tokuju-ji Temple. 1.From Miyajima Ferry Terminal, walk straight into the street next to LAWSON. 2.Turn left at the end of the tunnel. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Miyajima Cultural Combo: Kimono, Tea and Calligraphy offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
