The experience was very mindful and beautiful to watch. Midori explained everything beautifully and calmly. It was a very special moment to have in the middle of the busy Tokyo wandering. Thank you for marking our honeymoon 💕

Itinerary
Join a casual Japanese tea ceremony in Tokyo and discover the beauty of matcha without the formality. Guided by a friendly host, you’ll learn how to whisk powdered green tea, taste freshly prepared matcha, and enjoy traditional Japanese sweets. Instead of a strict ritual, this relaxed version is designed for beginners and curious travelers who want to experience Japanese culture in a fun and approachable way. During the session, you’ll sit comfortably while your host explains the meaning behind each step, from pouring water to presenting the tea. You’ll then try making your own bowl of matcha and savor it at your own pace. Feel free to ask questions, take photos, and immerse yourself in the philosophy of harmony and hospitality that surrounds the tea ceremony. Whether it’s your first visit to Japan or you’ve been many times, this experience is a great way to slow down, connect with Japanese tradition, and take home memories that last longer than the taste of tea.

Great tea experience with Midori
Great learning experience!! Very interesting and informative. Kazuna was very polite and friendly!
Very good experience with a complete explanation of the story behind of the tea ceremony. Our guide Kazuna was extremely kind made the experience even better.
Beautiful experience with Yoko! She provided us with a detailed and interesting explanation of the ceremony and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the ritual.
Lovely experience - quite exotic and pleasant - thank you
Yoko was a lovely host, very informative and conducted the ceremony with great care. Highly recommend to anyone wanting an authentic tea ceremony experience.
Kazuna was an excellent teacher and host! She provided a great, non-judgmental atmosphere to learn about the intricacies of the tea ceremony. The building was a bit challenging to find, so look for the sign and not just Google Maps
Excellent, very informative about the history of matcha .
Amazing experience and very informative, thank you Kozue.
Awesome cultural experience would highly recommend it.
I love the ceremony. It’s very informative and the tea master (Yoko) is very kind and sweet.
Very, very well done. All movements were clearly explained. Highly recommended. Pay attention to the instructions on how to get there. The entrance to the building and elevator are not that obvious from the street.
Overall the experience was great. If you want a quiet but informative activity then I would recommend this. The tea master knew a lot and showed us the steps in conducting the ceremony and some history of its development. We got to make our own matcha and so each person gets to drink two cups of matcha. Only issue is finding the building. See the photos on what to look for. The staff speak English so communication is easy.
Yoko is amazing! Her tea class is very exciting and knowledgeable! I highly recommend to come check the class out!
We had such an immersive experience with Yoko . Such a beautiful story being the meaning of the tea party and its cultural significance to Tokyo. Definitely will be doing it again. Highly recommended!

Peaceful and memorable experience of Japanese culture and traditions. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Japan!
Kaze was very nice and she informed my aunt and I about the japanese tea culture, and shared delicious matcha!
This was a very good small group experience, which gave us a good background of a tea ceremony with its cultural and historical significance. The explanation by our host was clear and readily understandable. The entire ceremony was explained and demonstrated before each person had an opportunity to make their own matcha tea. This experience helped us better understand cultural sites throughout Japan as we traveled.
