This day trip for ten includes an authentic Japanese lunch at a local restaurant. Mima will provide basic restaurant vocabulary and etiquette. (Don't worry, you won't be graded!) The next stop is Hakone Gardens in Saratoga, the oldest surviving Asian and Japanese estate garden in the Western Hemisphere. You will learn about traditional tea ceremony in a hands-on workshop and experience the peace and tranquility of the beautiful gardens on a docent-led tour.
