The experience we had at Noriko San's home was one of the strongest I had in Japan. Noriko is charming, smart, full of humor and knowledge. Speaks excellent English. We spent a very pleasant few hours learning about Japanese culture, the meaning of kimono and the tea ceremony, and even experienced playing kito. This is an exceptional experience and highly recommended.

I recommend it.
There is an amazingly nice space in one of the apartments. I was very satisfied to experience delicious matcha and koto with the friendly owner!
This shop is located in a room of a house near Shin-Urayasu Station.
The atmosphere inside the restaurant was truly calm and Japanese.
The owner is very knowledgeable and tells a lot of interesting stories, so the time goes by very quickly.
It was a valuable experience to experience the tea ceremony and the koto, which are all extraordinary.
Conveniently located near Shin-Urayasu Station, you can have a great experience. You can also experience playing the koto after having a tea party experience. The interior and sweets are also wonderfully attentive to detail. The story of the knowledgeable owner is also very interesting!
In a nutshell, it was such a wonderful experience! The space is wonderful from the moment you enter, and the owner's sense of style shines through. And while the Japanese tea ceremony and koto may sound difficult, the owner is more cheerful and frank, so you can learn while having fun. He has a wide range of knowledge and experience, so I'm sure he'll be able to fully enjoy the conversation.
It was a great experience. Noriko's home was very authentic Japanese style. I learnt about tea ceremony from its history, meanings of routines and tea utensils. Japanese sweet provided was very tasty, match with "macha" tea. I also enjoyed listening "koto", Japanese musical instrument, that Noriko played. It was like visiting Japanese friend's home.

You can easily experience Japanese traditions
like visiting a friend's house, if you feel at home
I was able to experience the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. I was happy to be able to choose the one I liked. We also learned the historical background of tea ceremony, such as the tea house and the story of the helmet of a warlord.
For music, I was taught the traditional Japanese koto instrument in an easy-to-understand way and was able to play it immediately.
When I opened the front door, I was surprised to find a Japanese space.
One of my favorite things I’ve done in Japan Noriko is amazing and has tons of knowledge on all things tea, music, history, and different questions about Japan. She really went above and beyond during the tour highly recommend

Good The matcha tea ceremony is a traditional Japanese cultural activity
It’s conveniently close to Disneyland and offers an amazing experience.
The matcha was incredibly delicious, and the koto music was wonderful.
Everyone should definitely try it!
