Matcha Experience
A tea moment in the corner of a Japanese garden, enjoying fine matcha and Japanese sweets
At a historic tea shop dating back to the Meiji era, enjoy a casual taste of refined Japanese culture. Try whisking authentic "matcha" yourself, or enjoy tea brewed the traditional way with a "kyusu" teapot. Either experience comes with the tea shop's delicious seasonal tea and Japanese sweets. Why not spend some time that will become one of the best memories of your trip?
