What To Expect

Just a short walk from Asakusa and Tokyo Skytree, this traditional tea ceremony offers a peaceful cultural break. Held at a table, it’s beginner-friendly and doesn’t require sitting on the floor. Your English-speaking instructor will gently guide you through each step. You’ll enjoy two bowls of matcha with seasonal Japanese sweets. The first is served by the host as a graceful demonstration. The second is prepared by you, allowing you to focus on each gesture and feel the mindful rhythm of tea-making. You’ll also learn about the tools, movements, and the spirit of Wa, Kei, Sei, Jaku — harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility. Clothing is flexible. Free kimono is available for those who wish to wear it, but casual clothing is also welcome. A tea ceremony belt and paper holder are also provided for a more authentic experience and great photo opportunities. This small-group, English-friendly experience is popular with international travelers. You can also purchase the premium matcha used during the session to continue your tea journey at home.
