Experience Details

Step into a serene, private retreat nestled in the heart of Tokyo’s vibrant Asakusa district, where the timeless art of Japanese tea meets the calming practice of meditation. Immerse yourself in the rich, soothing world of “ocha” — a cornerstone of Japanese culture — as you savor the flavors of matcha and rare, single-origin teas from the enchanting Ryusou region of Shizuoka Prefecture.


In this intimate space, guided by an expert host, you'll handcraft your own tea experience, brewing and tasting these exquisite teas while learning the art of tea-making. The gentle ritual offers a peaceful escape from the city’s hustle, allowing you to connect deeply with both the flavors of Ryusou and the tradition of Japanese tea.


Whether you visit on a weekday or weekend, enjoy a one-hour experience (with 7 sessions per day) and let your senses be transported. Guided in English, this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to embrace the serenity of tea amidst the excitement of Tokyo.
