Hello, I'm Grace, your local guide and Chiba resident for over 18 years. I love this city and can't wait to share it with you!
Escape the crowds of Tokyo and discover quiet, authentic Japan. Chiba is just 30–40 minutes from Tokyo Station and 35–40 minutes from Narita Airport — yet worlds away from the tourist bustle. A hidden gem for travelers seeking a genuine Japanese experience.
You'll dress in a beautiful kimono and stroll through the newly renovated Japanese garden at Inohanatei, a traditional hall within the grounds of historic Chiba Castle. The serene dry-landscape garden — white gravel, sculpted stones, and castle tower views — makes for stunning photos in a truly peaceful setting.
Afterwards, enjoy a matcha tea ceremony in a traditional tatami room, complete with handcrafted seasonal Japanese sweets. A moment of stillness and culture you'll always remember.
Come make wonderful memories with your family or friends!
Please find the guide in Kimono in front of the entrance of the tea room.
