Experience Details

Ginza is known for its high-street fashion and glittering neon lights, but tucked away behind the towering buildings, you can find pockets of tradition. This includes a humble tea house where you can enjoy a traditional tea ceremony. The Japanese tea ceremony is considered to be an essential part of Japanese culture and hospitality, combining traditional aesthetics and rituals with matcha green tea. Away from the busy city streets, you can enjoy a moment of calm and thoughtfulness during this tea ceremony in Ginza. Appropriate for adults and children alike, you can enjoy this green tea experience and learn about the history of the Japanese tea ceremony in a short introductory lecture. You will then participate in a demonstration by your experienced tea ceremony instructor. Next, enjoy your matcha with traditional Japanese wagashi sweets. This experience offers the opportunity for you to then practice serving the tea for yourself.
