• Kusaka Lumber Shop - Reservations are available for a tea ceremony and ikebana experience in our studio. Enjoy a 90-minute session and immerse yourself in a unique Japanese cultural tour.

The Tea Ceremony experience at ANKOAN helps alleviate travel fatigue. While savoring the welcome tea prepared by Yuka, participants can engage in discussions about the tea ceremony and other topics. Then, move to another matcha tearoom to observe the matcha preparation process, taste matcha, and enjoy delicious wagashi. Participants will also have the opportunity to make matcha themselves, with guidance and explanations from the instructor, ensuring a full appreciation of the art of Japanese matcha making.

During this time, participants can share observations and thoughts, such as “How do Japanese people live?” and “How did Japanese culture develop?” This cultural exchange, facilitated by the matcha experience, brings people from different backgrounds closer together, making it a highlight of the tea ceremony experience at ANKOAN.

Finally, savor the matcha you have prepared, which embodies Japan’s rich culture, and conclude this delightful experience.

Additionally, feel free to take photos indoors.
