Kimono theeceremonie in Tokio, Asakusa Maikoya

Dōmo arigatō gozaimashita, Wakana! You gave us an unforgettable tea ceremony. You explained the rich history of tea culture in such a memorable way that it came to life. To enter the tea house, a samurai had to bow low, leave his swords behind, and step into a place where peace mattered more than power. Wakana made that history come alive. She explained every detail with such warmth, humor, and passion that I wasn’t just listening, I was transported. Watching her whisk the matcha into a vibrant green froth and present it with such precise, graceful movements was mesmerizing. Every gesture, from the careful turn of the bowl to the elegant placement of the ladle, felt intentional. I truly felt like royalty. I even left confident I could make a frothy matcha with a proper bubble slurp for my own guests! A standing ovation to all the ladies who helped us into our kimonos. They were incredibly patient while I braided and bunned my locs, helped me accessorize, and truly made me feel like a princess. Traveling solo, I especially appreciated that Wakana took beautiful photos of me on the patio so I’d have lasting memories of such a special day. Her lighthearted humor and warm personality made the room feel so welcoming. This experience will stay with me for a very long time, and anyone who asks me what they should do in Japan will hear one answer from me: Kimono Tea Ceremony MAIKOYA Nishiki.

Such a fun experience, much better than even expected!! Being dressed in a kimono on our first full day in Japan and getting to wear it around Asakusa for several hours after the Tea Ceremony was soooo fun and not expected at all. WE LOVED IT!! A very fun memory. The Tea Ceremony itself was well-explained and interesting. The staff were kind and concerned and moved our seats when I was not able to see well. Over-all a great and fun experience! Well worth the money. DO IT!! A note on location - the place is a little hard to find using Apple Maps, especially if you try to find it the night before after business hours. Never-fear! Leave extra time the next day; they have signs out during business hours that help!

Absolutely phenomenal experience. Complete immersion into Japanese culture. A must do when in Tokyo.

This tea ceremony is really, to my taste, a must-do. The person who performs the tea ceremony is really very friendly, very smiling. She creates a very good atmosphere among the participants, and shares the tea ceremony with us with dexterity and precision. I 100% recommend this activity, which allows you to spend a very pleasant moment.

Wonderful experience with this place!!! The kimono looked so pretty! Friendly staff members. Highly recommended!!!!

First time doing the tea ceremony. Everything is great especially wearing the Kimono outfit while learning to make tea. Highly recommend. Little tip—do not book the last session because they will be close and will not allow you to wear the clothes to outside because they have to close the shop.

Great experience We loved it Don’t miss this activity It was very nice We went as a family and dressing with kimonos was awesome.

We loved our experience: selecting kimonos, getting the background on the tea ceremony, the delicious tea and treats - it was all great. As an added bonus, we got to wear the kimonos to Asakusa shrine and take some lovely photos at no extra charge!

this was an outstanding experience. relaxed but all the essential elements of a traditional tea ceremony. we had family members of various sizes (up to 3x) and everyone was outfitted in a lovely way in a kimono. We were able to wear the kimonos out and about all afternoon until 6 pm. there was a small shrine almost next door that provided a place for pictures. I really appreciated how we were treated. valuables were safe, as you kept them with you.

It was a really great experience. Me and my family had a great time. The kimonos were beautiful, the host was very pleasant and the matcha was delicious.
