Spring Sakura and Matcha Picnic Experience in Tokyo

Available only during cherry blossom season, this experience invites you to enjoy hanami in Yoyogi Park, one of Tokyo’s most famous sakura spots, just minutes from Shibuya and Harajuku. Surrounded by blooming cherry trees, you will join a relaxed, picnic-style matcha gathering led by a certified Matcha Hospitality Adviser. This is not a formal tea ceremony. Instead, it is a casual and beginner-friendly introduction to Japanese tea culture, held outdoors under the blossoms. No prior experience or special dress is required. Seated on picnic mats beneath the trees, you will learn how to prepare your own bowl of authentic Uji matcha using traditional tools. Your host will guide you step by step, showing how to whisk the tea into a smooth, frothy finish. As you sip, enjoy seasonal Japanese wagashi that complements the gentle bitterness of the matcha. Throughout the session, your host shares easy-to-understand insights about tea culture, cherry blossom traditions, and everyday life in Tokyo. The atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming, making it easy to ask questions and connect with others. This one-hour experience is well-suited for solo travelers, couples, families, and first-time visitors to Japan. Optional photo sessions are available, offering a chance to capture your cherry blossom memories in one of Tokyo’s most beloved spring settings.
