Un momento magico e fuori dal tempo durante la nostra luna di miele! Ampia scelta di kimono, spiegazione eccellente e molto coinvolgente. Inoltre, la pulizia dei luoghi era impeccabile.

Koume delivered an exceptionally detailed, friendly, and engaging tea ceremony, treating every guest with equal respect and warmth. She quickly established a wonderful rapport with everyone, creating an atmosphere that was both calming and educational. Koume’s extensive knowledge of matcha tea gave me a newfound appreciation and respect for its history, preparation, and traditions. Dressing in traditional attire made the experience even more special, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in this beautiful cultural experience. A truly memorable experience that I would highly recommend.

It was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. It was very well organised and everybody was so friendly. The only negative was we did not know in advance that we could stay in the kimono till 6 pm. If we knew that we would of planned our day around that and enjoyed spending the day dressed up.


Highlights

Experience a traditional Japanese tea ceremony while dressed in a beautiful kimono, right in the heart of Shinjuku, Tokyo! Choose your favorite kimono, and our expert staff will help you put it on. Basic hairstyling is also included for women. Learn the four core principles and etiquette of the tea ceremony from our English-speaking host, watch a demonstration, and then whisk your own premium matcha. Enjoy your homemade matcha with traditional Japanese sweets, escaping the bustling Shinjuku for a moment of tranquility.

Program

From Kimono to Matcha Making

Immerse yourself in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony experience, complete with a kimono fitting, in a dedicated space located in the heart of Shinjuku. Choose from a wide selection of kimonos, featuring both classic seasonal patterns and modern designs. After your kimono fitting, your English-speaking host will guide you through the history, philosophy, and basic etiquette of the tea ceremony. Witness a demonstration by a tea master, then try whisking your own matcha using a traditional bamboo whisk. Conclude your experience by savoring your freshly made matcha paired with exquisite Japanese sweets.


Create Lasting Memories in a Kimono



Your experience begins with selecting a kimono that catches your eye. Our professional staff will assist you in wearing it correctly, and for female participants, a simple hairstyling service is provided to complement your kimono. With the extended rental option, you can continue exploring Shinjuku's streets or the nearby Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden while dressed in your kimono. Capture unique photos of your Tokyo adventure in traditional attire. Please note that extended rentals require kimono return by 6:00 PM.


Learn the Spirit of Tea and Make Your Own Matcha



Learn about the four core principles of Japanese tea ceremony – Wa (和, harmony), Kei (敬, respect), Sei (清, purity), and Jaku (寂, tranquility) – from your English-speaking host. You'll also gain insight into the significance of the tea ceremony within samurai culture and its long-standing traditions. After observing a demonstration by a tea master on how to prepare matcha with a bamboo whisk, you'll have the chance to try it yourself. Follow the expert's guidance to create your premium matcha and savor it slowly with seasonal Japanese sweets.

*The traditional experience takes place in a tatami room. However, if sitting on the floor is uncomfortable, you may request a chair seat.
