Shinjuku : Authentic Tea Ceremony with Matcha & Kimono

Fun activity for everyone of all ages. Our tea instructor was very knowledgeable and made the experience very memorable.

This was an amazing experience from start to finish! The location was easy to find and set in a beautiful venue next to the Samurai Museum, making it a wonderful place to begin the experience. Everything was thoughtfully organized from the moment we arrived. The staff carefully explained the process, helped us choose beautiful kimonos, and even styled and accessorized our hair. One great perk is that you can keep your kimono until 6:00 p.m., so I recommend booking an earlier time if you'd like to take photos in a kimono while touring the city. The tea ceremony itself was elegant, peaceful, and incredibly informative. Our instructor began by sharing how she first became involved in the tea ceremony as a child, then told us about her family and personal life, which made the experience feel warm and personal from the very beginning. She also explained the history of tea, from its introduction from China to its evolution into the uniquely Japanese ceremony practiced today. Her explanations were detailed and engaging, and she took plenty of photos throughout the ceremony so we could fully enjoy the moment while still having wonderful memories to take home. This was a beautiful cultural experience that felt both authentic and welcoming. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Japan who wants to learn about one of the country's most cherished traditions.

I had a great time! I went by myself, and the staff were so friendly and kind. They all clearly know what they’re doing, and are extremely knowledgeable about kimono and the tea ceremony! I spoke a bit of Japanese with them, and they were surprised and super supportive. I had the absolute best time talking with them, and the whole experience was 100% worth it for the price. I definitely recommend going!

Beautiful . Must try . A full family experience if you want to get to know a bit more about the culture.

The tea ceremony was elegant and informative. The hostess was an expert in Japanese tradition and very patient. The business also allowed us to leave with the kimonos to take pictures.

One of my favorite experiences in Japan! My husband and I loved getting dressed in kimonos and learning the history behind a traditional tea ceremony! We also had wonderful matcha that you learn how to make yourself and a few treats.

A unique experience. Informative and interesting. Our hostess was very engaging and conducted the ceremony with aplomb

I smiled from the moment I stepped in the door. I was made to feel very special. The experience was very informative and relaxed. I loved every minute!

We were unsure at the beginning, as these experiences may sound like too touristy. But we don't regret it at all! Mrs Suzuki (4 children 4 husbands 😊) was incredible. So entertaining. Amd she answered all our questions. Minutes flew by, and we enjoyed every single moment. They also let us keep the kimonos after the ceremony, to take pictures outside, at the nearby shrine. Unforgettable afternoon. Ichi-go ichi-e... Thank you for the memories of a lifetime!

So worth the money paid! Love the entire experience.. huge selection of kimonos to choose from and they dress you up and do your hair so beautifully and the tea ceremony in itself was so nice, she explained the significance behind every step so well, cool experience.
