Description

The recommended route is Tokyo hotel → kimono dressing in Asakusa → tea ceremony while wearing kimono → Senso-ji, Kaminarimon & Nakamise photo walk → kimono return → another Tokyo area such as Akihabara or Tokyo Skytree area → hotel. Enjoy professional dressing assistance, learn basic tea etiquette, prepare or taste matcha according to the confirmed venue program, and explore historic streets in traditional clothing.
