Overview

Perfect for business travellers and those seeking a serene escape. We welcome guests from age 3 and up (max waist/hip size 110cm for a comfortable fit). Don't waste your precious time travelling to Kyoto—discover the authentic heart of Japan right here.

Your experience is set near Omiya Hachiman Shrine, the third-largest shrine in all of Tokyo’s 23 wards—a vast, sacred sanctuary that even many locals are unaware of. We provide an exclusive session using high-quality, genuine silk kimono and premium tea ceremony utensils. Guided by our hospitable staff, you will find peace within this historic forest. After the ritual, mingle with locals as the cafe opens. Rediscover the “Real Japan” through true craftsmanship and warm Japanese hospitality.

Activity itinerary

Experience an exclusive, private cultural session near the sacred Omiya Hachiman Shrine. 1. Premium Kimono Dressing Choose from our curated collection of high-quality kimono. Our experts provide professional dressing, ensuring an elegant and authentic look for your session and stroll. 2. The "Two Bowls" Tasting — Our Unique Highlight Discover how the "hand" changes the flavour of tea in this rare comparison: National Treasure: Observe a traditional tea kettle crafted by a Japanese Living National Treasure at close range. The Comparison: We use the exact same water from this masterpiece kettle to prepare two bowls of Matcha. Compare one made by the Master and one whisked by yourself. The Magic: Taste the surprising difference in flavour and texture between the two bowls. Artisan Style: Enjoy delicious Japanese sweets served in beautiful artisan tea bowls. 3. Sacred Forest Stroll After the ceremony, we share the stories and etiquette of the 1,000-year-old shrine. You will then enjoy a private, self-guided stroll to the shrine in your kimono. Enjoy the serene forest at your own pace. Total privacy for your group. No crowds. Just authentic Japanese tradition.
