Terms & Conditions
Welcome to kyoto-tea-ceremony.com. Before you explore our guide to tea ceremonies in Kyoto, please take a moment to read these terms. By using this site, you agree to them.
What This Site Is
kyoto-tea-ceremony.com is an independent guide for travelers who want to experience a Japanese tea ceremony in Kyoto. We help you compare 16 different tea ceremony experiences, from temple settings to machiya townhouse gatherings, and explain what to expect, what to wear, and how to choose.
We are not a tour operator, a travel agency, or a seller of travel. We are also not the official website of any operator or booking platform. When you decide to book, you do so on a third-party website.
Accuracy of Information
We take care to keep our guides accurate, and the listings on this site were last checked on 3 November 2026. Still, tea ceremonies, like any travel experience, change: prices, starting times, availability, and what is included can shift from one season to the next. The booking platform's page at checkout is always the final word on what you are paying for.
Bookings Made Through Other Sites
When you follow a link from this site and book a tea ceremony experience, your booking is made with a third party, on their website, under their terms and conditions. We are not a party to that contract.
This means we cannot change a booking, cancel it, or arrange a refund. If you have questions about a reservation you made, please contact the booking platform or the experience provider directly. We are always happy to help you understand the options before you book, so feel free to reach us at hello@kyoto-tea-ceremony.com or through our contact page.
Affiliate Links
Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. If you book an experience through one of them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep the guide running. You can read the details in our Affiliate Disclosure.
Intellectual Property
The text, comparisons, and design of kyoto-tea-ceremony.com belong to this site. Tour names, photos, and reviews belong to their respective owners and are shown here only to help you compare your options.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The version published on this page applies, so please check back if you return to the site. This page was last reviewed in 2026.
If anything here is unclear, or if you have a question about planning your tea ceremony in Kyoto, you are welcome to write to us at hello@kyoto-tea-ceremony.com. You may also find answers on our About page or learn how we build our guides in How We Research.
