We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this experience. The setting was comfortable, serene, and welcoming, creating an intimate atmosphere that felt truly special. Miyuki was not only knowledgeable about the history and culture of matcha and the Japanese tea ceremony, but also deeply passionate in her teaching. It was a privilege to watch her graceful demonstration of the tea ceremony rituals and to learn how to properly whisk matcha in a chawan ourselves. If you’re looking to add something meaningful and culturally enriching to your Tokyo itinerary, I highly recommend this unique and memorable experience.
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the matcha experience and Miyuki’s guidance. It means a lot to us that you found the ceremony meaningful and memorable. We hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Tokyo.
Very quiet and educational event in a pleasant atmosphere. We were also able to ask many questions and conduct our own tea ceremony.
This was the most relaxing event I’ve booked with Viator. We learned so much on the value of having a tea ceremony as we delved in Japanese history. Yuuko san was everything when it came to giving us a warm welcome. She spoke very well in both Japanese and English as well. Everything she had discussed had made the event worth coming. She even added some meditation and snacks.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a nice review! It's really great to hear that you enjoyed the ceremony! We hope we can see you again! :)
I attended a tea ceremony on my last full day in Tokyo. Learning about the history of tea and it’s influence on Japanese culture was incredibly fascinating and I highly recommend anyone visiting Japan to add this ceremony onto their list of activities. My host was welcoming, spoke good English & clearly very passionate about the tradition. Overall I found the experience of making/drinking the tea thoroughly enjoyable and was glad to have taken part.
Thanks for such a lovely review, Charlotte! We love to share our knowledge of Japanese culture with our guests. We hope you enjoy your newfound tea ceremony skills!
