5.00One of the absolute highlights of our trip to Tokyo was experiencing a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. From the moment we entered, the atmosphere was serene and welcoming, transporting us to another world away from the busy city. Every gesture and detail was filled with meaning, and the hosts explained the traditions with such kindness and respect that we felt completely immersed in the culture. It wasn’t just about drinking tea—it was about mindfulness, beauty, and connection. The ceremony gave us time to pause, reflect, and appreciate the grace of Japanese tradition. It was truly one of the best experiences of our journey in Japan, and something we will never forget.!!
Enjoyed immensely

5.00This is a must do tour for those who have always wanted to dress in a kimono and learn about a tea ceremony. It was so much fun, my niece and I felt so pretty. Everyone was professional and friendly. I highly recommend booking this tour if you have a couple spare hours in Tokyo!

5.00An enjoyable experience. The ladies were so helpful and friendly and there was a wide variety of kimonos and accessories to choose from. The tea ceremony itself was lovely and the perfect length - any longer would be too long. A great insight into Japanese culture.
