5.00What a wonderful experience we did the tea ceremony along with sweets. Kurumi was our host. She was absolutely wonderful. Very patient with us during the sweet making process as it takes skill and patience to create these sweet treats by hand. We were able to choose the shape and color of our sweet treats with tools provided by them. As soon as I walk through the door, my husband and I Were given a Kimona and a handbag to use as part of the ceremony. Did not realize how complicated it was to put on a Komona. My husband and I were able to choose our own Kimona and one of the ladies got me dressed trapping me up with the kimona lol. And brushed and fixed my hair with a nice flower hair pin to finish . The entire time Kurumi taught us about Japanese tradition and history both during the suite making process and during the Matcha tea ceremony. She even offered to take pictures of us ! The place is absolutely beautiful inside. Lots of places to take pictures and they even provide props. We greatly recommend to all folks visiting the Asakusa area .

5.00OMG! We had the most incredible time making sweets, at the traditional tea ceremony, and making new friends. This experience was organized down to the last detail, making this experience smooth and enjoyable. The added touch of having photo opportunities set up was a nice added detail that allowed us to capture the moments. We'd give this experience five stars and two thumbs up... highly recommend this.
Good Experience
