What an eye opening experience! The explanation of the symbolic meaning behind every action during the ceremony gave me a deeper appreciation for the Japanese culture. Thank you for sharing this with my family and I. This is an activity I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Wonderful activity, loved the education on how to have a tea ceremony in a traditional way with all the polite customs.
I loved learning about the history of tea houses and the culture of matcha from a tea master. They helped us choose a kimono and took plenty of photos for us. It was a fun experience!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and beautiful photos! We are delighted that you enjoyed learning about the history of Japanese tea houses, traditional tea ceremony culture, and matcha during your visit to our tea ceremony experience in Asakusa, Tokyo. It was our pleasure to help you choose a kimono and capture memorable photos of your time with us. We believe that experiencing both kimono and an authentic Japanese tea ceremony creates a special cultural memory of Japan. Thank you for choosing our Tokyo tea ceremony experience. We hope the taste of matcha and the spirit of Japanese hospitality stay with you long after your trip. We would be honored to welcome you again on your next visit to Asakusa.
It was a fun and educational experience! I’m so glad we did it!
I’ve done a few tea ceremonies in Kyoto, but this one in Asakusa was honestly even better. First of all, you get two rounds of high-quality sweets here, not just one! They also explain the meaning behind each step of the tea ceremony, which made the whole experience much more meaningful than others I’ve attended. The hosts speak excellent English and are always happy to chat and answer any questions. I also loved that you can wear a kimono during the experience. It’s much less stressful than renting one elsewhere and worrying about spilling something on it or getting it dirty. Another big advantage is that chairs are provided, so you don’t have to sit in the seiza position, which can be quite uncomfortable for many people. It’s a tiny group, only four people—so you receive plenty of personal attention from the tea master. If you’re looking for a chill, authentic way to dive into Japanese culture, definitely book this place!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are absolutely delighted to hear that you highly recommend our tea ceremony and found it to be an even better experience than others you've had. It's truly rewarding to know that we could offer you a ""chill, authentic way to dive into Japanese culture."" We are especially pleased that you appreciated the two rounds of high-quality sweets, the detailed explanations of each step, and the excellent English communication from our hosts. Providing a comfortable and meaningful experience, including the opportunity to wear a kimono and the availability of chairs for ease, is central to our philosophy at our tea ceremony school near Honjo-Azumabashi Station. Our small group size ensures personal attention, which we believe enhances the learning and enjoyment for everyone. Your kind words are a great encouragement to our entire team. We are committed to continuing to offer such unique and thoughtful experiences. We sincerely hope to welcome you back again on your next visit to Japan.
Delightful experience. We loved getting to wear kimonos. It ended up being just our family, so it felt like a private experience
This was a great experience! The ladies were wonderful hosts and we learned so much about the tea ceremony and how to be part of it. This was very educational.
This was such an incredible experience. While the matcha is an acquired taste, it was certainly an honor to learn the history and ritual of the tea ceremony. Would ceremony recommend. Ichi go ichi e.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed not only the matcha, but also the history, culture, and spirit behind the Japanese tea ceremony. The concept of “Ichigo Ichie” (一期一会) teaches us to treasure each encounter as a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and we are honored to have shared that special moment with you. We hope to welcome you again whenever you visit Tokyo. Warm regards, Tokyo Tea Ceremony Minamikaze Team 🍵
The tea ceremony was beautiful and informative, and the tea was delicious. I chose my kimono from a wide selection and they helped me put it on correctly, then took a bunch of pictures for me on my phone and with my camera. The amount of individual attention was far more than I expected.
Really immersive experience. The ladies who were teaching and showing us about the tea ceremony were so knowledgeable, kind and also had a great sense of humour
Dear Ruth, Thank you for your wonderful comment. We are so glad that you enjoyed it. Sharing a traditional and mindful tea ceremony experience brings us joy too.
