Away from the tourist spot, enjoy quiet and relaxing atmosphare of 300-year-old temple. Experience Japanese traditional culture with kimono in the special setting will stay in your memory for long time.

We had a lovely experience wearing the kimonos and having the tea experience. The chocolate we were given before tea was heavenly. The kimonos were so beautiful. The hosts were so kind and gave us a warm welcome and an once in a lifetime experience. I recommend trying it while on the island, especially if you are a foreigner that wouldn't come across this ritual on a regular basis at home.

The whole experience was excellent. The staff were the most polite and friendly you could ask for. They were very helpful, patient and were happy to assist with a few pictures etc. we were a group of six and we were in a small party with another group of six which was perfect size. We also managed to leave a bag behind and they went out of their way to contact us before we left the island. The kimonos (both male and female) were lovely fabrics and were expertly fitted to each of us. Also in a beautiful setting. Thoroughly recommend.

It was a very peaceful and fun event. We appreciated their care in dressing for the ceremony and the setting for the pictures and ceremony was very moving. It provided a great insight into the culture.

Such lovely and memorable experience. The kimono dressing was a ritual on its own, and the staff was so friendly and caring. The tea ceremony was formal and highly educational. So happy we booked this experience. 😍

It was a wonderful experience for us. The staff was really kind, very polite and helped us a lot with the Kimonos. They explained stepwise the traditional tea ceremony. It was a place of silence and relaxation. We enjoyed it very much. We are happy that we booked it at Okeiko Japan!
We can recommend the original Miyajima chocolate as well. They were delicious 🍫 😋

Amazing experience! Definitely need to put on your to do list. The ladies were so patient with our group and the English speaking translator was exceptional. Small groups so get a personalised feeling. Dressing in Kimono made it feel so real and they let us walk around the ground and take lots of photos. Believe this experience was way better than a large group in a bigger city like Kyoto.

This activity was the absolute highlight of our stay in Hiroshima/ Miyajima. I cannot recommend this highly enough if you want a truly cultural experience of Japan. The ladies who run this experience are delightful and speak excellent English. They assist you in putting on a kimono, then take you through a tea ceremony with a full demonstration, followed by your individual experience of performing your own tea ceremony. This is complimented by local chocolates. Following the ceremony there is an opportunity to take photographs in their beautiful gardens.

We were kindly welcomed into the residence, and went through a dressing process for our kimono. All of us came out looking grand in our attire. Next the various ceremonies including chocolate, tea, etc. Our host were friendly, helpful and so kind. Great experience, off the beaten track to find and worth exploring thereafter. Tremendous afternoon and highly recommended. Loved the chocolates!
