On Japlanning's latest trip to Japan we decided to partake in an afternoon of traditional wears, flower arranging and a Japanese tea ceremony. Read ahead to find out how we found out this unique cultural experience, and how you can experience it yourself. 

One of the team here at Japlanning is a florist back home, and naturally had the urge to learn and try her hand at the traditional Japanese art of flower arranging, Ikebana. Oddly enough the other two "must experiences" of this past trip were a traditional tea ceremony and a fitting of a kimono. Well, thanks be to google, we quickly found japanese-culture.jp, a fantastic group who offer amazing traditional, cultural experiences to small groups, across Japan.
