Hi, I'm Takafumi, your host and tea instructor at Shizuhamo! Welcome to a century-old traditional Kyoto townhouse in Fushimi, officially designated by Kyoto City as an Important Kyo-Machiya. I'm a certified Urasenke tea instructor with over 30 years of experience, an Ikenobo ikebana instructor, and a former forest scientist. I personally guide every experience in English or Japanese. If you'd like to escape the crowds and discover authentic Kyoto tea culture, I'll introduce you to the traditions behind the tea ceremony. Walk through the garden, enter the tea room through the nijiriguchi (traditional low entrance), explore both winter and summer tea rooms, and prepare your own matcha using authentic tea utensils. 🍵 MY PHILOSOPHY Tea ceremony is more than drinking matcha. It's a way to understand Japanese aesthetics, hospitality, and our relationship with nature. Take your time, make your own tea, and discover the meaning behind each movement and tradition. 🌿 WHAT MAKES SHIZUHAMO DIFFERENT Personally guided by an experienced tea instructor. Small groups and private experiences only. Authentic tea rooms, traditional utensils, and hands-on learning. A cultural experience focused on understanding, not just taking photos. I look forward to welcoming you to Shizuhamo!
