Activity itinerary

✴︎ Early Summer Special: 15% OFF! (June 13 – July 13) ✴︎ "This is not a performance. It's an invitation into everyday Kyoto life." ■ Guided Machiya Tour Explore a 150-year-old former silk merchant's townhouse — its architecture, history, and the philosophy embedded in every room. ■ Tea Ceremony Seated at a table, watch a live demonstration by a practitioner with 16 years of training, explained in clear English. Then whisk your own matcha on a rare Misonodana shelf using practitioner-only top-grade tea — and leave with skills to use at home. ■ A Tea Room That Changes With the Seasons The garden, tea room, utensils, and seasonal plant-based sweets all change with the time of year. Spring — Soft blossoms and sakura-inspired sweets. Summer — Cool shade and refreshing confections. Autumn — Crimson leaves and rich, warming sweets. Winter — A frost-touched garden and a glowing tea room. Come back in a different season and discover a completely different JURAKU. ■ About JURAKU A 150-year-old former silk merchant's townhouse in Kyoto's Nishijin district, preserved for future generations. Maximum 6 guests. Every visitor receives personal attention.
