Question
I’m planning to visit a traditional Japanese tea ceremony during my trip and would like to show respect to the host. How do I say “Thank you for the wonderful tea ceremony” in Japanese?

素晴（すば）らしいお茶会（ちゃかい）をありがとうございます。
Subarashii ochakai o arigatou gozaimasu.
Thank you for the wonderful tea ceremony.
It’s always a sign of good manners and respect to thank your host after a tea ceremony, which is an important part of Japanese culture. “Subarashii” means “wonderful” or “splendid,” and “ochakai” refers to a tea gathering or tea ceremony. By using “arigatou gozaimasu,” which means “thank you very much,” you’re expressing gratitude in a polite manner.
Feel free to use this phrase after attending any special event or gathering to show your appreciation for the experience.
