Question
I am planning to visit Japan next spring and I’m very interested in experiencing a traditional tea ceremony. However, I don’t know how to ask about it in Japanese. How do I ask, “Where can I participate in a tea ceremony?” in Japanese?

Where can I participate in a tea ceremony?
Participating in a traditional tea ceremony, or “ochakai,” is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in Japanese culture. The structure of this question is useful when you want to ask about participating in various activities or events. The phrase “ni sanka dekiru no wa” means “where can I participate in,” and you can replace “ochakai” with other activities, such as “yoga class” or “cooking class,” by using the respective Japanese term.
Don’t hesitate to use this question to find various cultural experiences during your trip!
