Question
I’m planning to visit Japan soon for a cultural holiday, and I want to experience traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. How do I ask someone “Where can I experience a traditional tea ceremony?” in Japanese?

伝統的（でんとうてき）なお茶（ちゃ）の作法（さほう）を体験（たいけん）できる場所（ばしょ）はどこですか。
Dentōteki na ocha no sahō o taiken dekiru basho wa doko desuka?
Where can I experience a traditional tea ceremony?
This phrase will help you find a place to enjoy an authentic tea ceremony. Dentōteki na means “traditional”; ocha no sahō refers to “tea ceremony”; taiken dekiru means “can experience”; and basho wa doko desuka means “where is the place?”.
This is a useful expression for locating cultural experiences in Japan. Simply replace “ocha no sahō” with the activity you’re interested in, like “koto no ensō” (koto performance) or “ikabana” (flower arranging), to discover where you can experience them. Enjoy immersing yourself in the beauty and tranquility of Japanese traditions!
