Soumi Sugo at Gallery Kaiyou — Table-Style Tea Ceremony

The hero image is AI-generated to illustrate the topic; it does not depict the venue or its actual offerings.

What You’ll Experience

At Gallery Kaiyou in Ashiya, Soumi Sugo introduces chabako temae: tea preparation using utensils gathered in a compact box. The setting is a historic Western-style former guest house.

A demonstration and an introduction to etiquette lead into guided practice. The table-style format lets you focus on the tea and utensils while sitting at a table.

The plan includes matcha and sweets, and Wabunka lists an English-speaking guide. This is a daytime tea experience; the former guest-house setting does not imply an overnight stay.

Who Is This For

• Tea beginners seeking a guided introduction
• Design enthusiasts drawn to utensils and historic interiors
• Independent planners comfortable confirming practical arrangements before booking
