In this 6-hour Tokyo walking tour, you can experience the traditional Japanese tea ceremony known as “sado”. Sado reflects the spirit of “wabi-sabi,” a philosophy which finds beauty in simple refinement, old ways, and solitude. Beyond just serving and enjoying green tea, one of the main purposes of the tea ceremony is for the guests to enjoy the hospitality of the host in an atmosphere removed from the fast pace of everyday life thus this artistic ritual is held in a traditional tearoom with tatami mats.
In this tour, you will learn the spirit of Japanese tea culture through experience! Your Tea Ceremony experience also comes with a walking tour. You can visit a few sights of your choosing with your guide. Please budget about 2 hours for each sight.
Age: Children can join this tour, however, the tea ceremony experience is for those 12 and up.
Note: The start time for the experience may vary. The estimated start time for the experience will be about 1 hour from the tour start.
