Combine Kimono, Tea Ceremony, and Asakusa Sightseeing

This cultural experience in Asakusa combines kimono rental with an authentic Japanese tea ceremony.

The venue is approximately three minutes from Senso-ji Temple, allowing guests to enjoy dressing, hairstyling, a tea master’s demonstration, personal matcha preparation, and sightseeing in one experience.

It suits travelers who want to discover traditional Japanese culture through clothing, movement, flavor, and the historic streets of Asakusa.

Choose from More than 500 Kimono and Yukata

Packages with kimono rental allow guests to choose from a collection of more than 500 kimono and yukata.

Traditional patterns, vivid colors, and photogenic modern designs make it possible to create a look that matches the season and the atmosphere of Asakusa.

Yukata may also be available during warmer periods, creating a lighter option for a summer visit.

Complete the Look with Hairstyling and Accessories

After choosing a kimono, guests receive professional dressing assistance and complimentary hairstyling.

Hair ornaments, bags, and other accessories help complete the outfit without requiring travelers to bring special items.

Selfie props are also provided, allowing the photography experience to begin as soon as the dressing is complete.

Watch a Tea Master inside a Dedicated Tea Room

Once dressed, guests are guided into a dedicated tea room for the tea ceremony.

A tea master introduces the basic procedures and etiquette while demonstrating how matcha is prepared and served.

The calm movement of the utensils, the consideration shown to each guest, and the atmosphere of the tea room offer a peaceful contrast with the lively streets outside.

Prepare Matcha with Authentic Tea Utensils

After watching the demonstration, guests can use traditional utensils to prepare a bowl of matcha themselves.

Move the bamboo whisk, observe the color and foam develop, and notice the aroma as the tea comes together.

The matcha is enjoyed with a Japanese sweet, allowing guests to experience the balance between gentle sweetness and the pleasant bitterness of tea.

Preparing the bowl personally makes the ceremony more memorable than observation alone.

Explore Asakusa while Still Wearing Kimono

With the kimono and tea ceremony package, guests can continue sightseeing in traditional dress after the tea session.

Senso-ji Temple, Kaminarimon Gate, and Nakamise Street provide some of Tokyo’s most recognizable settings for photographs and cultural exploration.

The tea ceremony takes approximately 40 minutes to one hour after dressing, followed by free time to explore Asakusa until the kimono return time.

This creates a natural connection between the quiet tea room and the historic district outside.

A Short Tea-Only Option Is Also Available

Travelers can also choose an option focused only on the traditional tea ceremony.

The tea-only session lasts approximately 20 to 30 minutes and suits visitors who want to preserve more time for sightseeing or participate in their own clothing.

Guests who initially reserve only the tea ceremony may be able to add kimono or yukata rental at the venue for an additional charge.
