Great cultural experience while in Tokyo! - We enjoyed the Japanese sweets class as well as the ceremony, the staff were very welcoming and having them dress us in Kimonos was a cool experience as well. Would recommend!

Unique experience - What a wonderful experience we did the tea ceremony along with sweets. Kurumi was our host. She was absolutely wonderful. Very patient with us during the sweet making process as it takes skill and patience to create these sweet treats by hand. We were able to choose the shape and color of our sweet treats with tools provided by them. As soon as I walk through the door, my husband and I Were given a Kimona and a handbag to use as part of the ceremony. Did not realize how complicated it was to put on a Komona. My husband and I were able to choose our own Kimona and one of the ladies got me dressed trapping me up with the kimona lol. And brushed and fixed my hair with a nice flower hair pin to finish . The entire time Kurumi taught us about Japanese tradition and history both during the suite making process and during the Matcha tea ceremony. She even offered to take pictures of us ! The place is absolutely beautiful inside. Lots of places to take pictures and they even provide props. We greatly recommend to all folks visiting the Asakusa area .

Beautiful and Fun experience - Amazing experience! If I come back to Tokyo, definitely want to book again. We had a really great time and the workers were very kind, friendly and funny! I was so happy with this experience and if you’re debating on booking, just do it! It’s definitely worth it.

Best Japanese Cultural Experience - OMG! We had the most incredible time making sweets, at the traditional tea ceremony, and making new friends. This experience was organized down to the last detail, making this experience smooth and enjoyable. The added touch of having photo opportunities set up was a nice added detail that allowed us to capture the moments. We'd give this experience five stars and two thumbs up... highly recommend this.

A creative, fun and informative tourist experience that yielded good memories + great pictures! - We had a lot of fun. We knew this was going to be a more "touristy" experience, but we all enjoyed the process of choosing/dressing in the kimonos, and then also taking some cool pictures. The Wagashi treat-making was cool and fun, too (though our teenager liked the creative/making process, he admitted the bean paste taste was "not his favorite"). The tea ceremony itself was both informative and fun, and we were all glad we tried this probably-once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Sweet and tea making with kimono - The staff were all super sweet and helpful when dressing you in the kimono. We got to make two of our own sweet and whisk our own matcha, and learn the culture behind the practice!

Fun times at the tea ceremony - Presentation great! Our facilitator was very knowledgeable and precise. She also incorporated in appropriate humor. The business is decorated wonderfully with great ambiance. Negatives are sounds of people talking in adjacent rooms, and the kneeling on the floor was very difficult. The experience is not for anyone with mobility issues.
