About CHATABI – Kyoto Tea Experience

Hello! I'm Yuko, the founder and host of CHATABI in Kyoto. I'm a certified Japanese Tea Instructor and Kyoto City Certified Interpreter Guide. I also study the Japanese tea ceremony. My journey with Japanese tea began over ten years ago, when I worked at a tea-themed ryokan in Kyoto and prepared matcha for guests from around the world. This experience inspired me to explore the fascinating world of Japanese tea more deeply. Through my studies, visits to tea farms, and hands-on experiences with tea production, I have developed a deep appreciation for the history, culture, and traditions of Japanese tea. I founded CHATABI to share my passion for Japanese tea and culture with people from around the world. In our busy daily lives, I believe the tea ceremony offers a wonderful opportunity to slow down, appreciate the little things, and enjoy the present moment. I look forward to sharing this special part of Japanese culture with you in Kyoto!
