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.

Thank you to Shuji, our guide, who had prepared very well as we were keen to understand the history of Japan. He contacted prior to our trip to understand what we were looking for and he delivered a tour that was fun and informative.

Amazing time with a wonderful tour guide, Yuki!!! Thanks for making our day manageable- we would have been lost without you. Yuki is a fabulous guide and great with kids. (Ages 9,13,14,18). She got us to all of our requested stores and restaurants!!

Sachi was our guide on the 1st day in Japan. She picked us up at the hotel and explained everything, including how the transport works and helped us get the travel card. She is really nice and fun and has a lot of knowledge about history and traditions, and she communicates them very enthusiastically. She even took us to a Japanese restaurant where nothing was in English, and it was a real experience where she even taught us our first words in Japanese ❤️
She enjoys her job, and that's something you can feel.
Without a doubt, we would recommend her!

We had a great time with Yuki. She was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting and cool stuff about Tokyo. She was very patient with our two kids and took us to several places that tailored to their age and interest.
