• Ninshu vessel shop & matcha cafe - A garden designed with sand in a traditional Kyoto temple is called a Zen garden. At Ninshu, a handmade pottery store in Kyoto, visitors can experience an original Pottery garden arranged as a Zen garden. In the Pottery Garden, visitors can make their own sand patterns and design their own colors using vessels. Then, in front of the garden, visitors can enjoy matcha from Ippodo, Kyoto’s famous tea company, and seasonal wagashi (Japanese sweets) from Senbon Tamajushuken. In addition, visitors can experience various aspects of Kyoto’s culture, such as the traditional Kyoto Machiya (traditional townhouse), which is more than 100 years old, and purchase handmade pottery.

Usually, Zen gardens are meant to be admired, and there are few places where one can experience them. This activity allows guests to craft their own unique designs using sand in a small Zen garden. The movements are gentle, making it enjoyable for everyone, from young children to the elderly. You can capture photos of yourself enjoying Matcha and Japanese sweets in front of the Zen garden you created, making for a memorable Kyoto cultural experience. Additionally, you can purchase handmade pottery as a Kyoto souvenir from the store. These items are dishwasher and microwave safe, making them popular even among international visitors.
