Overview of your Tokyo tour

Tea ceremony, "Sado" or "Chanoyu" called in Japanese, is the mixture of Japanese culture, pottery, lacquerware, flower arrangement, calligraphy and so on. The simple and beautiful technique is completed about 400 years ago and has been handed down. I will take you to the old Japanese world with my hospitality towards you. Please come to my apartment and enjoy learning it together, sitting on the Tatami floor calmly. It is located in 15-minutes away from Shibuya station. During the tea ceremony you can learn about the history, how to make green tea, Matcha, and many utensils. Feel free to contact me for inquiry.
