Question
I’m planning a trip to Japan and want to experience the famous Japanese tea ceremony. How do I ask, “Where can I experience a tea ceremony?” in Japanese?

Where can I experience a tea ceremony?
Experiencing a traditional Japanese tea ceremony is a unique way to learn about Japanese culture and appreciate its aesthetics. In this phrase, “ochakai” means “tea ceremony,” “taiken dekiru” means “can experience,” and “basho” means “place.”
You can use this phrase to ask for locations where you can participate in a tea ceremony. Remember to adjust “ochakai” to other cultural activities you may be interested in, such as “ikebana” (flower arranging) or “kado” (calligraphy), if needed.
