How about trying on a kimono at Machiya Juku, a Japanese space and time near Higashi Chaya District, and enjoying the world that spreads out from a cup of tea? Escape from everyday life and step into a quiet tea room to discover a new side of yourself. It seems that there are not many houses with tatami mats these days, and the Japanese-style space of a machiya is nostalgic like grandma's house, and it will be fresh for young people. You can learn various Japanese gestures that are useful to remember, such as how to say hello, open and close the fusuma, how to walk and sit on the tatami. This is a Japanese lesson that will definitely come in handy when you are invited, in a slightly formal seat, or in a business setting. Why don't you experience it as a memory of your trip? Not only women but also men are welcome.
