We had such fun coming to this tea ceremony. The staff were so nice and they accommodated us even though we got stuck in Tokyo traffic. The ceremony itself was a little pocket of calm and tranquility in a busy city, and we loved drinking and also making the matcha. Amazing experience.
The perfect Tea House!

A perfect gem! This old & original little tea house, tucked away on a little side street, is not only beautiful & relaxing, it’s a tranquil & peaceful, allowing you to leave the hustle & bustle of the outside world for a short while whilst learning about the traditions & history of the tea ceremony. The hosts are very knowledgable & very friendly!
