Description
Wear a kimono, take tea with an Omotesenke associate professor (30+ years), and stroll a shrine founded in 1063. The whole café is yours, even for one guest.
Step away from the busy tourist areas and spend a quiet morning or afternoon in Suginami, a residential neighbourhood of Tokyo. This private experience takes place in our small café, which is reserved entirely for your group — even if you are travelling alone. Your host, Souka, is an Omotesenke associate professor who has practised the tea ceremony for over 30 years. A 1st Grade Kimono Consultant with 25 years of experience will dress you in a kimono of your choice, including hair styling and accessories. You will then take part in a private tea ceremony seated in chairs, so there is no need to sit on the floor. The matcha is prepared with water heated in a kettle crafted by a Living National Treasure, and you will taste two bowls of matcha with a seasonal Japanese sweet. Afterwards we walk together to Omiya Hachimangu Shrine, founded in 1063, and stroll through its bamboo grove and past its vermilion torii gates. Your hosts take photographs throughout the day and send you all the photo data afterwards, so you can enjoy the experience without worrying about your camera.
