Discover Japanese Floral Heritage through Selection and Ikebana

Experience Ikebana in Kyoto through the flowers, traditions and aesthetics that have shaped Japanese floral culture.

Begin at a traditional flower shop with over 140 years of history, where the owner introduces and explains each flower selected for the experience. Learn about Japan’s rich floral heritage, seasonal traditions, and appreciation of natural beauty.

Following the shop visit, take part in a hands-on Ikebana workshop, learning the principles of Japanese flower arrangement and creating your own composition with individual guidance.

This tour is guided by a certified Ikebana teacher and garden designer with a lifelong background in floral design. Raised in her mother’s flower and table-design school, she later pursued floral studies internationally, bringing extensive knowledge and experience to the workshop.

Along the way, discover the cultural significance of individual flowers, seasonal beauty and the traditional art of Ikebana, gaining a deeper understanding of how Japanese floral design connects nature, aesthetics and everyday life.
