Zen Garden Making and Matcha Tasting in Handmade Pottery Shop
Usually, Zen garden is something to be appreciated, and there are not many places where it can be experienced. This experience allows gests to create their own unique design using sand for Zen garden, albeit in a small garden. There are no hard movements, so everyone can enjoy it, from small children to the elderly. You can take pictures of yourself eating Matcha and Japanese sweets in front of the Zen garden you have made, which will be a wonderful memory of Kyoto culture. You can also buy handmade pottery as a souvenir of Kyoto at the store. Since they are dishwasher and microwave safe, they are popular even among people from overseas.
