For Our Guests

Cultural Experiences

At Hachinoya we offer our guests the chance to take part in cultural experiences. Within the quiet of the house, you can meet traditional Japanese culture slowly and first-hand.

Seasonal flowers arranged in an alcove (flower arranging)

Kadō

Flower Arranging

More than simply displaying flowers, kadō is an art form that expresses the beauty of nature and the flow of life. Facing seasonal branches and blossoms in stillness, and drawing on the beauty of empty space, you arrange a single vessel into a small landscape.

Whisking a bowl of matcha (tea ceremony)

Sadō

Tea Ceremony

The tea ceremony ("sadō") is an age-old Japanese tradition of preparing and serving tea to welcome a guest. In the quiet of the tea room, you share a single bowl of matcha with a seasonal sweet — a moment of hospitality beyond words.

Writing characters with brush and ink (calligraphy)

Shodō

Calligraphy

Calligraphy ("shodō") is a traditional Japanese art of writing kanji and kana beautifully with brush and ink. Amid the scent of freshly ground ink, you steady your breath and pour your heart into each stroke. Rather than writing well, simply enjoy the quiet time itself.
