Full description
This is a 1.5-hour experience in Tokyo. It is run by TOKYO MATCHA ACADEMY, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Tokyo is the largest city on earth by metropolitan population and it is best seen as a set of neighbourhoods on the Yamanote loop line rather than one place. Asakusa has Senso-ji, the city's oldest temple, and Nakamise's shopping lane; Shibuya has the scramble crossing and Shinjuku the bars of Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho; Harajuku is Takeshita Street and Meiji Shrine's forest; Akihabara is electronics and anime; Ginza is department stores and sushi counters. Everything runs on time and the last trains are around midnight. Cash still matters in small restaurants, an IC card covers every train and bus, and tipping is not done anywhere.
The price covers Matcha experience, Kimono to wear throughout the experience, Teaism and matcha lecture by a tea expert, Matcha making lesson and Exclusive first flush matcha. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
TOKYO MATCHA ACADEMY sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with TOKYO MATCHA ACADEMY before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
Includes
- Matcha experience
- Kimono to wear throughout the experience

Excellent experience! Ryoko was a great instructor/guide. I loved learning about the history of Matcha. I also enjoyed trying the Matcha that I made. I will try this experience again the next time I’m in Tokyo.
It was such a beautiful experience to learn authentically about matcha, its origins, variations and the spiritual aspect associated with it. I will cherish this experience ❤️
A truly insightful workshop. I loved learning about the history of matcha, teaism, and the tea ceremony. It deepened my appreciation for the cultural and spiritual meaning behind each step. Highly recommend 🌿
This was phenomenal on all levels. The experience, the educational component, the presenter Komei was engaging well versed and made us feel at home on every level. The matcha he provided was of the finest quality and even had supplies on hand for us to purchase.
This was awesome (as a 50 y/o guy). Very intimate, informative, and entertaining evening. The location was residential, but it just added to the experience. A nice oasis just a few blocks from the busy streets of Tokyo. Recommend this experience as highly unique.
Great. Eric was a master in Tea ceremony. Explained everything in detail and provided a lot of history.
Really good. Warmly welcomed and told history of tea, ceremonies and Matcha. Wore kimonos and made our own matcha. Thoroughly enjoyable
Komei was a great host, he really knows about real matcha. We were surprised of how informative this experience was, it was not only the "ceremony tea" but a deep insight on why should we eat tea the health way. Thank you, arigato!
Amazing experience and the hosts were so nice and welcoming
We had a great time with our host, Komei. We learned many interesting things, and the taste of the Matcha was incredible. If you want to try real Matcha, we truly recommend this experience!
The whole experience was amazing. Our facilitator Komei was very knowledgeable and easy going making our experience more memorable. Wearing the kimono's was a highlight as well. Komei took great photographs of our group. We all enjoyed our afternoon. Highly recommend. 5 stars !!
An unforgettable experience in Tokyo! The matcha tea ceremony we attended was simply enchanting. The host welcomed us with incredible warmth and expertise, explaining every step of the traditional process with passion and attention to detail. The care, serene atmosphere, and exquisite quality of the matcha created a truly calming and spiritual experience. I highly recommend this ceremony to anyone wanting to experience authentic Japanese tradition and enjoy tea at its finest.”
