You will experience the Japanese culture Tea Ceremony in the traditional tea room, which is probably not found anywhere else in Okinawa. Our experienced instructor will teach you how to enter through the small entrance of the tea room and introduce each tea utensil. After that, you will move to the room where Ryu-Rei-style, tables and chairs for tea ceremony are set. At the tables, you will enjoy having Japanese and Okinawan sweets before having the bitter tea.
