What to expect

You will be warmly welcomed by your host, Noriko, at Shin-Urayasu Station JE08(just 20 minutes from Tokyo Station). Together, you’ll take a short 3minute walk to her cozy Japanese home.

The experience begins with a relaxed tea ceremony. Noriko will share about its history before preparing the first bowl of matcha. Then, you’ll make your own for the second—she’ll guide you step by step. With your tea, you’ll enjoy two small sweets and one seasonal sweet.

Next, discover the traditional Japanese instrument, the koto. Noriko will perform two pieces, and then it’s your turn! You may be surprised at how quickly you can play a melody.

To make the day more special, you can add the optional, cotton kimono+photos experience for 3,500 yen on site (cash, credit card, or PayPal). You’ll be dressed in traditional style (10 min per man, 20–30 min per woman including selection) Please note the kimono option extends the experience time, and kindly request it when booking. Noriko will help you take memorable photos.

We look forward to welcoming you to a private, fun, and unforgettable cultural experience in Japan at local home!
