Miyashita Kyoto Guide
Today, I offer private tea ceremonies, artisan visits, personalized Kyoto tours, and seasonal cultural experiences that connect guests with Kyoto’s living traditions.
My Story
Growing up in a kimono family meant being surrounded not only by finished garments, but by the people and work behind them.
My role today is not to explain from the outside, but to act as a bridge — connecting guests with artisans and their daily work through long-standing relationships.
In 2024, I began studying the Yabunouchi school of tea ceremony.
Tea, for me, is not a performance, but a way of welcoming people into a shared space — a quiet starting point before engaging more deeply with Japanese culture.
Spending time abroad deepened my appreciation for Japanese culture and everyday traditions.
Rather than creating large group tours or performances, I chose to offer small, private experiences — allowing each guest to engage at their own pace.
