A wonderful experience
My friend and I experienced the tea ceremony and making Japanese sweets for the first time. I was a little nervous before the tea ceremony, but Ikuyo-san welcomed us with a bright smile that eased our nervousness. Once we entered the tea room, she warmed us up by telling us a simple story about the history of the tea ceremony. The tea room was very beautiful, and in March it was decorated with cute Japanese hina dolls of Hinamatsuri and peach blossoms. The scent of charcoal and the sound of hot water boiling from the Kama entertained all five senses in a quiet space. It was a very memorable experience to be able to enjoy tea in such a space with my friends. We enjoyed each and every part of the delicate process of making Japanese sweets as well, and ended our special day by enjoying the Japanese sweets that we made on beautiful Japanese plates. Ikuyo-san is a very bright and kind. This is a class that I highly recommend to everyone.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your great review. I’m so happy about that. I was also glad that I spent the time with you though the Japanese culture. Thank you for joining.

Enriching experience!
What an enriching experience! This was my first encounter with a Japanese tea ceremony. I had no prior knowledge nor experience, but Ikuyo-san made us feel at home in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Ikuyo-san is extremely kind and highly experienced - I was fascinated by the depth of thought and consideration that went into the tea ceremony. The Japanese sweets making experience was also an exciting experience. Who knew we could make such lovely (and delicious!) sweets at home! Thank you Ikuyo-san for a lovely experience. I feel proud to be Japanese!
Response from the operator: Thank you for really nice review. I also had great time with you. I was happy that you felt something from Japanese culture. Thank you for joining.

Amazing Tea and Dessert-Making Experience!!
We had such a special experience with Ikuyo!! As first time visitors to Japan it was so wonderful to learn about the significance of the tea ceremony and making the dessert was so fun!! Ikuyo was wonderful with my 13-year old boys. They loved being hands-on and making the dessert and the tea. I highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you for joining my mix class. My husband and I also fun and great time with you and boys. I’m happy that you enjoyed my class. Thank you again.

Loved every second of my time at this place!
I can only recommend coming to this place if you are interested in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. The teacher is certified beautiful lady who has been doing tea ceremonies since young. She is a very nice lady with lots of knowledge and experiences in this field. I can guarantee you that she makes every interested traveler feel welcome, even if it is just a one time experience. She also takes in students like me, who only have a limited time available in Japan, but still want to learn something about tea ceremonies in Japan. She usually greets her guests wearing a beautiful traditional kimono, which I love! I took her lessons for 6 months and I have to say that every visit (lesson) was a heartful cultural experience. On top of the tea, you also get to enjoy her self made traditional Japanese sweets which are absolutely delicious. You can also make these sweets with her! So, if you have the time, go for it! You will not regret it!! I will go again when I go back to Japan.

Japanese Sweets Making & Tea Ceremony in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yokohama.
How much does Japanese Sweets Making & Tea Ceremony in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo cost?
+
Prices start at $117 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Yokohama usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Japanese Sweets Making & Tea Ceremony in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Yokohama is not rushed.
Is Japanese Sweets Making & Tea Ceremony in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Yokohama, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Japanese Sweets Making & Tea Ceremony in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Japanese Sweets Making & Tea Ceremony in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Japanese Sweets Making & Tea Ceremony in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Yokohama can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Yokohama and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Japanese Sweets Making & Tea Ceremony in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Yokohama within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Yokohama?
+
On Outty we rank every Yokohama experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo in 1 Day from Yokohama: Private Tour, Licensed Guide, Yokohama Ramen Adventure near Tokyo: From Factory to Home Cooking, 【Tokyo】JDM Daikoku Parking & Nissan Facility Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Yokohama?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Yokohama?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Japanese Sweets Making & Tea Ceremony in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo?
