Let's enjoy Matcha ＆ Wagashi ! As a personal hobbyist, I'll guide you to my favorite local tea utensil and Japanese confectionery shops in Hiroshima—all long-standing, beloved establishments. You'll personally select the matcha and sweets you'll enjoy during our experience.
The session typically takes place in a rental space (table/chairs). I'll teach you the basics: how to make matcha. Any leftover matcha will be a special souvenir for you to take with you.
Important Notes:
This isn't a traditional tea ceremony held in a Japanese-style tatami room. This tour is perfect for those who want to casually enjoy matcha and Japanese sweets in a relaxed setting.
The tour involves about 1.2 kilometers (approximately 0.75 miles) of walking. Most of this is through covered shopping arcades, making it a perfect activity even on rainy or hot days.
Please be aware that the location may change depending on the availability of the rental space.

5.00This was my first time participating in the tea ceremony. I had seen it on TV and in movies and it looked easy, but it was surprisingly difficult. She explained things very carefully, and I learned a lot. It was fun. Thank you very much.

5.00"Had a blast on Sachi's short trip to Japan! We explored traditional tea houses and sweet shops, and I soaked up everything about tea — history, types, tools, and how to make matcha. Turns out, green tea and Japanese sweets are total BFFs! Super cool and a great way to learn about Japanese culture."
