Overview

【Private Matcha & Wagashi Experience】 Looking for an authentic experience right in the heart of the city? Join me for a private Matcha and Wagashi session that perfectly fits between your sightseeing. ・Story & Context First: Start with a brief look into the history and Zen mindfulness of tea culture to understand the "why" behind traditions. ・Step into Local Life: Visit historic tea utensil and confectionery shops to handpick seasonal sweets and matcha where locals genuinely shop. ・Touch Fine Artistry: Sit comfortably at tables and chairs (no painful sitting!) to handle high-quality ceramic tea bowls and learn the basics of whisking perfect matcha. ・Take the Ritual Home: The remaining premium matcha powder is yours as a souvenir (approx. 15g)—enough to host a tea party for 8–10 friends back home! ・All-Weather Friendly: Our easy 1.2 km (0.75 miles) walk is mostly through covered shopping arcades, perfect for rainy or hot days.
