Kawagoe Authentic Tea Ceremony

New1 hBy Naoko Lab

About this activity

Would you like to enjoy a bowl of matcha in a historic Japanese town just outside Tokyo?

In Kawagoe, you can experience authentic Chado in English while discovering a different side of Japan.

Unlike the busy atmosphere of central Tokyo, Kawagoe offers a slower and more peaceful atmosphere, with traditional streets, historic buildings, and a unique sense of old Japan.

This experience is not simply about learning how to drink matcha. I would like you to slow down, enjoy the season through the tea utensils and shikishi artwork, and experience a small moment of Japanese culture during your journey.
