What to expect
Amid Nagoya’s lively streets, step into a quiet teahouse and enjoy seasonal wagashi from a historic confectioner once favored by the Tokugawa family. These sweets reflect Nagoya’s role as one of Japan’s wagashi capitals, where tea culture thrived under the Owari Tokugawa lords.
Watch a tea master perform the refined ritual of preparing matcha, then whisk your own bowl under gentle guidance — a simple yet meaningful way to connect with this tradition.
The workshop takes place inside Japan Culture Village, where temples, shrines, and century-old shops stand beside cafés and eateries, blending past and present. It’s a rare chance to experience harmony and calm in the heart of the city.
