What to expect
Enjoy an authentic tea ceremony experience in a table setting without the need to sit in traditional seiza style, right between sightseeing in Asakusa and Tokyo Skytree. In a quiet room, begin by observing a traditional tea preparation demonstration up close by the instructor, then savor authentic, high-quality matcha and seasonal Japanese sweets in a formal tea setting. Afterward, you can enjoy a special “two-serving experience” where you will use real tea utensils to prepare matcha yourself.
Before the experience, you can choose your favorite kimono from a wide variety of designs and have it fitted for you (optional, free of charge). Taking photos in kimono is also a popular activity. Because it is a chair-style setting, there is no strain on your legs and lower back, so beginners, families with children, and families can participate with peace of mind. With easy-to-understand English support available, it is also popular with overseas visitors. This is a rare tea ceremony experience in Japan where you can wear a kimono and experience “seeing, tasting, and preparing” all at once.
