We had the chance to participate in a tea ceremony followed by an introduction to calligraphy, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by hosts of great kindness and extreme kindness. Their attention to detail and their passion for these traditions was palpable. The house, beautiful and authentic, immersed us in a serene and discovery atmosphere. The simply perfect tea ceremony allowed us to live a real moment of peace and refinement. Thank you so much for this unique experience that we highly recommend!

Beyond incredible, from the moment you enter Chinoya it's as though you're transported to another world and time. Yuzo and Kumi are fabulous hosts, who are knowledgeable, friendly, and caring. Would definitely do this again, and feel so lucky to have been welcomed into their place and be able to go around.
