Question
I’m planning a day trip to Kyoto and want to experience a traditional tea ceremony. How do I ask someone “Where can I attend a tea ceremony?” in Japanese?

Where can I attend a tea ceremony?
In Japanese, “sadou” refers to the traditional tea ceremony. “Taiken” means “experience” and “dekiru” means “can do.” When combined, “taiken dekiru” means “can experience.” “Tokoro” means “place,” and “doko” refers to “where.” This question will help you find a location to enjoy this unique cultural experience.
You can use this structure “activity o taiken dekiru tokoro wa doko desuka?” (Where can I experience activity?) to ask about other activities you’re interested in while exploring Japan.
