Tokio Teezeremonie in Asakusa mit Kimono, Matcha & Wagashi

The hosts were super kind and took lots of cute photos for us! There was a good selection of cute kimonos and hair accessories. The matcha was very yummy and I really enjoyed learning about the tea ceremony. Overall a very worth it experience!

Sumi and Aiko were both amazing! Sumi explained the steps to a traditional tea ceremony very well and it was very informative. Aiko took pictures, videos, and dressed us up in the kimono. Overall it was great experience and I would recommend it for first timers traveling here!

Sumi and Aiko were so adorable and very informative! I would highly recommend doing this!!!

My mom, sister, and I did this together and we all absolutely loved it. From start to finish, it was just such a beautiful and memorable experience to share. ​The instructor was incredibly warm and welcoming. She took so much care in dressing us in gorgeous kimonos, which made the whole experience feel so special. She was also kind enough to take photos of us too. ​Her instruction on the traditional tea ceremony was so graceful and easy to follow. We learned so much and felt incredibly connected to the culture. If you are looking for an authentic, personal experience to do with loved ones, I cannot recommend this highly enough!

This was my first experience participating in sadō in Japan, and it was a meaningful part of my solo trip. As a Mixed Black-Japanese, British-American person, tea is a meaningful part of my life, my cultures, and my family heritage. I had wanted to experience sadō during previous visits to Japan with friends, but had never been able to make it happen. So on my last day in Tokyo during this solo trip, just a few hours before catching my flight home, I decided to finally do it. The women leading us explained each step clearly, so we could appreciate not only what we were doing, but why each gesture mattered. I especially appreciated the way they warmly encouraged me as I spoke in my broken Japanese. My grandmother always taught me that Japanese people often value the attempt to participate in the culture as much as, if not more than, perfect skill, and that spirit was present here. They encouraged me, let me try, and gently corrected my whisking when I was not moving quite fast enough. I never felt judged or embarrassed, only supported. I was lucky enough to schedule this trip during sakura season, so we were also served a cherry blossom-themed wagashi that was beautifully crafted, delicious, and made the whole experience feel even more connected to that particular moment in Japan. This was also my first time wearing kimono as an adult. I did not expect it to feel as emotional as it did. I had worn a kimono my great-grandmother made for me when I was a child, and putting one on again in Japan brought up a deep feeling of connection to my grandmother and great grandmother, my childhood culture, and my Japanese heritage. I was the only solo guest in a group with a European couple and three sisters from Mexico. We communicated mostly in English, with a little Spanish as well since I used to live in Mexico. The group was warm and friendly, and the sisters from Mexico were having so much fun together as a family that it added even more joy to my experience. I highly recommend this experience whether you are traveling solo or with loved ones. You get to enjoy the tea, the sweets, the ritual instructions, and the beauty of wearing kimono. Even though it is not in a fully traditional sadō setting, it still offers a thoughtful and respectful way to engage with Japanese culture. For me, as a Japanese person born outside of Japan, it was also a meaningful way to feel more connected to my heritage. I am very grateful I chose to do this before leaving Tokyo.

A nice, zen experience! We enjoyed learning the traditional tea ceremony way! We had a range of people who love matcha to some who had never tried it before. Each of us took something away that we liked, whether it was the matcha or the sweets that were given. Definitely recommend! Also, liked that we were able to enjoy the tea ceremony in kimonos!

The expierence was great and educational! The kimonos were beautiful! Staff was very pleasant

Excellent experience including customer service. Very friendly staff and overall fun experience.

I loved learning more about the Japanese culture and this was a great experience the ladies were lovely and welcoming
