Meet Your Host
Ichika
My passion for sharing the captivating beauty of Japanese culture with international visitors began during my student years abroad. Since 2022, I've actively guided many international guests through various cultural experiences like kimono and sushi making. Currently, I am deepening my understanding by diligently studying Urasenke tea ceremony.
I aim to be a bridge fostering international mutual understanding by sharing Japan's profound charm and exquisite culture. I'd be delighted to arrange a private tea ceremony experience for you. Please feel free to reach out.
