This exclusive cultural experience invites you to watch elegant traditional dance performances, enjoy tea with sweets, and interact with a maiko up close, including a commemorative photo. You will also take part in a hands-on Zen garden activity, learning to rake sand in a dry landscape garden that reflects Buddhist philosophy and mindfulness. An English-speaking guide provides cultural insights throughout. Choose between a 14:00 or 15:30 start time to suit your schedule, and enjoy a tranquil, intimate setting that offers a deeper understanding of Kyoto’s living traditions.
