Enter a quiet tea room in central Tokyo and begin with welcome tea and a light cake. A tea master introduces the ceremony, guiding you through tasting Gyokuro sencha paired with seasonal wagashi. You’ll then learn to whisk your own matcha and understand the meaning behind each step. The session ends with Genmaicha, a certificate of completion, and a group photo.

Start by slipping into an easy-to-wear kimono before settling in for a guided tea session. Learn about Teaism, matcha quality, and preparation techniques while tasting first-flush matcha with traditional snacks. You’ll practise whisking matcha yourself using authentic tools, combining cultural learning with a visual, immersive experience.

Travel from Tokyo to the Fuji Kawaguchiko area on a full-day guided tour. Ride the Kachikachi Ropeway to an observation deck with sweeping views, visit Oshino Hakkai village, and stop by a local Lawson store. Along the way, take part in a matcha-making session, learning the basics while enjoying the scenic surroundings.

Step off busy streets into a calm, minimalist space where tatami floors, soft light, and deliberate movements slow everything down.

Watch bright green matcha transform as it’s whisked into a smooth foam, then try it yourself—every movement precise, rhythmic, and intentional.

Small, intricate sweets arrive like edible art, reflecting the season in color and shape, balancing the slight bitterness of tea.

Slip into a kimono and sit for tea, where traditional textures and patterns contrast quietly with the city just outside.

From the ropeway and observation deck, the landscape opens up to wide views of Mount Fuji, framed by Lake Kawaguchi and shifting light.

Clear spring-fed ponds mirror the sky and surrounding village, offering a slower, quieter pause in the middle of a full-day journey.
