Midori's introduction to The Way of Tea - We were a grup of 7 Norwegian students who were gracefully taught The Way of Tea by the lovely Midori-san. From the history and the cultural reasoning behind the 'ceremony' to the current focus on taking a break from the hectic everyday by respecting every part and every little detail. The tea quality was amazing. We highly highly recommend going and asking for Midori-san!

A Wonderful Tea Ceremony Experience in Tokyo - We had a wonderful experience at the Tokyo Tea Ceremony. The session was conducted in English by Kazuna-san, a very knowledgeable host who made it easy to understand the meaning, history, and details behind each step of the ceremony. She was extremely kind, patient, and welcoming throughout the entire experience. The prices were very reasonable for the level of detail and care provided. The location in Asakusa is also very convenient, and the tea room itself had a calm, authentic atmosphere that truly enhanced the experience. What stood out most was the level of detail in the ceremony and the fact that we were able to fully experience and appreciate each part, rather than simply watching a demonstration. Overall, it was an excellent cultural experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Tokyo.
