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. Perfect for couples, families, and friends — a true Ichigo Ichie, the Japanese concept of treasuring each once-in-a-lifetime encounter.
