Magnificent immersion in Japanese culture.
A wonderful immersion in Traditional Japanese culture. Keiko was very patient with gentle instructions. We really enjoyed the sweets and the Matcha Tea. We loved dressing up in the beautiful kimonos and having our photos taken. We loved having to make our Matcha Tea and drinking it after we were instructed. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone who wants a genuine Traditional Japanese experience.

Wonderful Tea Ceremony
This was absolutely fantastic! Off the beaten path, engaging and educational! We had fun and learned so much. This has been one of the best experiences we’ve had in our two weeks in Japan. This is an intimate experience, you are dressed in traditional clothes and learn the protocols and rituals of a tea ceremony, culminating with you making your own matcha tea and performing the tea ceremony.

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tokyo Tea Ceremony in Asakusa with Kimono, Matcha & Wagashi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Tokyo Tea Ceremony in Asakusa with Kimono, Matcha & Wagashi cost?
+
Prices start at ¥9,300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tokyo Tea Ceremony in Asakusa with Kimono, Matcha & Wagashi take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Tokyo Tea Ceremony in Asakusa with Kimono, Matcha & Wagashi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 227 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tokyo Tea Ceremony in Asakusa with Kimono, Matcha & Wagashi?
+
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 Tokyo Tea Ceremony in Asakusa with Kimono, Matcha & Wagashi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tokyo Tea Ceremony in Asakusa with Kimono, Matcha & Wagashi?
+
Around 79 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 Tokyo 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 Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tokyo Tea Ceremony in Asakusa with Kimono, Matcha & Wagashi 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 Tokyo 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 Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Shinjuku: Izakaya Food Tour (3-4 Stops, 14+ Tastings), Matcha Making Class in Tokyo with Authentic Japanese Sweets Set, Tokyo: Asakusa Senso-ji Temple & Old Town Walking 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 Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. 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 Tokyo?
+
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 Tokyo Tea Ceremony in Asakusa with Kimono, Matcha & Wagashi?
