The Art Of Excellence

The Japanese Tea Ceremony at Ju-An, constitute the most authentic experience and is conducted in a traditional Buddhist temple, Jotoku-ji in the centre of Kyoto.

The Tea Ceremony was developed by Buddhist monks 500 years ago to assist with meditation. Over time, it has developed into a life-changing hobby practised by many passionate specialists, and has become a classic Japanese cultural experience. It goes beyond just the serving and receiving of tea, allowing its practitioners into a restorative interlude from the hectic everyday life.

Our guiding spirit is that of Ichigo Ichie, 一期一会, which translated into English means: a once in a lifetime encounter. In the words of one of our Guests, we endeavour to provide a real cultural experience and not just a tourist show.
