Kimono Rental & Tea Ceremony in Asakusa, Tokyo | Enjoy Matcha Near Sensoji Temple

Enjoy Kimono and Tea Ceremony Together Near Sensoji Temple

This is a Japanese cultural experience in Asakusa, Tokyo, where you can enjoy kimono rental and an authentic tea ceremony all in one visit.

The venue is about a 3-minute walk from Sensoji Temple. You'll transform into kimono attire, watch a tea master's demonstration, whisk your own matcha, and then stroll through Asakusa—all as part of one seamless flow.

This experience is perfect for those who want to enjoy Asakusa's traditional streetscape and culture not just through photos, but through taste and gesture as well.

Choose from Over 500 Kimonos and Yukatas

With the kimono-included plan, you'll select your favorite piece from a collection of over 500 kimonos and yukatas.

The appeal lies in being able to choose an outfit that matches the mood you want to experience in Asakusa—whether it's a traditional pattern, a vivid color, or a design perfect for photos.

Depending on the season, yukata may also be an option, letting you create summery Asakusa memories in addition to spring or autumn kimono strolls.

Hair Styling and Accessories Included

After choosing your kimono, staff will help you dress and style your hair.

Hair accessories and bags are also provided, so travelers don't need to bring any special items—everything needed for the full look is taken care of.

Photo props are also available, so you can start enjoying Asakusa-style photography the moment your outfit is complete.

Watch a Tea Master's Demonstration in a Dedicated Tea Room

Once you're dressed, you'll move to a dedicated tea room where the tea ceremony experience begins.

A tea master will introduce the flow of the tea ceremony and its basic etiquette while demonstrating how to whisk matcha.

You'll be able to observe up close the quiet movements of handling the tea bowl and whisk, the courteous gestures of welcoming guests, and the calm atmosphere that fills the tea room.

Whisk Your Own Matcha with Authentic Tea Utensils

After watching the instructor's demonstration, you'll use authentic tea utensils to whisk your own matcha.

Moving the whisk back and forth, you'll experience firsthand the changing color, aroma, and froth of the matcha.

The matcha you make will be enjoyed alongside Japanese sweets, letting you savor the pleasant combination of sweetness and matcha's gentle bitterness.

Completing a bowl of tea yourself, rather than simply watching, makes the tea ceremony a much more personal memory.

Stroll Through Asakusa in Your Kimono

With the kimono-included plan, after finishing the tea ceremony, you can head straight into the streets of Asakusa while still wearing your kimono.

The biggest draw is being able to walk in traditional attire through some of Tokyo's most iconic sights, including Sensoji Temple, Kaminarimon Gate, and Nakamise Shopping Street.

The tea ceremony itself runs about 40 minutes to an hour after dressing, and afterward you're free to explore until it's time to return your kimono.

It's an experience that lets you carry the Japanese culture you felt in the tea room out into the streets of Asakusa.

A Shorter Tea-Ceremony-Only Plan Is Also Available

There's also a plan available without kimono rental, focused solely on the tea ceremony.

In the tea-ceremony-only option, you can enjoy the demonstration and matcha-making experience in about 20 to 30 minutes.

This is a great choice for those who want more time for sightseeing in Asakusa, or who prefer to join casually in their own clothes.

Even if you book the tea-ceremony-only plan, it may be possible to add a kimono or yukata for an extra fee, depending on availability on the day.
