I had a wonderful time with Rika! The tea ceremony was delightful, and I loved wearing a kimono while learning about the art of tea in Japan. Rika took her time to explain everything in English and even took photos of me for beautiful memories. The surrounding garden is very charming; I highly recommend this experience, away from the crowds of Tokyo! Thank you so much, Rika :)

We had a lovely time. Our host was very knowledgeable on the history of the traditional tea ceremony, she was patient and kind while teaching us how to make traditional Japanese tea sweets, and even let us try our hand at making and serving matcha and the importance of how to serve. It was an unforgettable experience.

This was a very nice tea ceremony. Simple and affordable, yet very relaxing. I especially loved how even though the building is located on one of the Ginza's busy streets, once you entered the tea room everything was relaxing and quiet. The host was also very friendly and happy to answer questions. A very nice way to take a break from busy Tokyo and I suppose exactly how a tea ceremony should make you feel!
