Full Description
Step into Tokujuji Temple, a hidden gem in Miyajima, and begin your cultural journey by selecting your favorite kimono to wear. You’ll be guided through traditional Japanese experiences in a tranquil setting with warm, welcoming hosts.
Tea Ceremony
Participate in a Ryurei-style tea ceremony—seated at a table with chairs for comfort. Learn the traditional steps as the tea master purifies tools, prepares the tea, and presents it along with seasonal Japanese sweets. Discover the meaning behind each ritual, how to properly drink the tea, and even how to make it yourself using matcha powder.
Calligraphy Lesson
Unleash your creativity with a Japanese calligraphy session. Under careful instruction, you’ll practice drawing Kanji characters and eventually write your name in Hiragana or Katakana. Complete your piece by signing in Japanese, then wrap it for safekeeping as a lasting souvenir of your visit.
Amulet Making (Optional)
Craft a personalized omamori amulet using hand-stitched kimono fabric, mini rice scoops, and decorative cords (Kumihimo). Choose a wish, imprint it onto your amulet, and offer it to the resident deity, Kinseki Jizō, for blessings. This is a meaningful, meditative activity perfect for those seeking connection and good fortune.
After your chosen experiences, enjoy time for photos in the beautiful temple garden while dressed in your kimono. The peaceful ambiance and elegant setting make for unforgettable memories.
